About this episode

Pete and Darius analyze the Lakers' Game 1 victory over the Rockets, focusing on LeBron's performance and Kennard's shooting.

On a night where Kevin Durant was a surprise late scratch for Houston, a locked in LeBron James and a hot-shooting Luke Kennard led the Lakers to a Game 1 victory to a 1-0 series lead over the Rockets. Pete and Darius break down the game, highlighting LeBron’s control of the action through his passing and post up play, Kennard’s overall aggressiveness as a shooter and patience as a playmaker, Deandre Ayton’s great two-way game, and much more.
