PART 1: Houston's biggest adjustment so far

About this episode

Anthony Irwin discusses Houston's strategic changes in Game five and the implications for the Lakers.

Game five was defined by great Houston shooting and a complete abandonment of the offensive boards by them -- a total course correct from their identity much of the season. Anthony explains the move, what else he saw from the game and whether he thinks the Lakers have a counter-punch.
