#3 The defense of both the teams
The match lacked defense from both the teams. If this is the sign of things to come then it is going to be a huge problem for both of them. This has been a very huge concern for the Spurs after losing arguably their best defensive player Dejounte Murray to a torn ACL for the whole season. Last year Murray was awarded an All-Defensive Second Team spot as well.
As for the Lakers, they lack consistency. And that’s fairly normal for a young team but not for a team who wants to contend for a playoff spot and potentially reach the Western Conference Finals as well. They give a lot of easy points and look lost on the defense a lot of times. A lot of that is due to team chemistry and cohesiveness as well. But, they will have to figure things out quickly if they want to make a serious run for the playoffs.
Guess the Lakers players!
