They absolutely cannot waste this LeBron performance. They need to tighten up the defense

Damn James is having a monster scoring game.

3 points down only? What a rampage. Closing down the half is very important for the Lakers... they got the momentum now.

Rondo needs to be better. He's been a real negative today.

Game 5 2004 Finals vibes with the 36-20 from Shaq? May be one of the last vintage Bron performances we'll ever see in the Finals.

They've tightened up their defense. Kuzma again MASSIVE with being able to force Jimmy to pass out. They need to keep this in the ~5 range or take the lead by the half

Did the refs not get the memo?

**** back breaking. It's still close and it feels like the Lakers have a couple more runs, but you've gotta be unhappy being down 4 with a vintage Bron performance like this

Nunn fulfilling the Dragic role well in pick and roll situations and getting inside has been the difference so far

Herro was awful at it. Hes just used spotting up and off screens now which is much more his game

Buttler is 5 FTs away from having the same amount of FTs in this series as James and Davis combined. Yes he's getting great treatment by the refs.

They need to work out their defense. Tighten it up.

I'm pretty amazed by how good Butler has been this series.

Didn't think he had this level in him.

He's matching Lebron and AD in production.

Yep. Vogel needs to make some adjustments on D, which he will. Glad AD looks fine though

Feels like the game where the Heat shooters are on, and Butler is on as well....

Lakers role players need to come alive. Rondo had some good plays but DG/Kieff/AC need to make some more shots
