Keys to the Game:
•Win the battle from 3
The Lakers love and are not afraid to shoot from three point range. Win that battle tonight both offensively and defensively.
•Crash the boards
The Lakers are also a good rebounding team. Crash the boards on both sides of the ball and either get out and run or get a second opportunity at points on the same possession.
