One sided physicality being allowed by the refs is frustrating the lakers players

Lakers are just so painfully unathletic outside of a 40 year old LeBron and Vanderbilt

Lebron just runs and throws it to the rim “foul”

Julius Randle is the best player on the floor right now. Wild!

Randle looks like a big mismatch for the Lakers. They got nobody that can take him in the post. And Luka going for 50 tonight..

Both teams are trying to play faster than the other team to get easy points and both teams are playing a little too fast for their own good.
