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.
