Game Debrief: What Went Right And What Went Wrong?

This was a good win against a team whose Super Bowl was this game - Clippers season is lost but this was a cup game against the lakers they came out to play particularly with Kawhii back.

Add in winning it without a key starter ayton.

Defense is a problem with the Rui lineups - all the advanced metrics were raising red flags on Rui's defense before Lebron came back and now with Lebron the defense without Ayton and Rui misplaced as a starter was really bad.

Same thing happpened with Utah - second half JJ goes with his preferred defense oriented crew with some combo of Laravia, Smart, and Gabe and the defense gets a lot better
