Later, they discuss the Lakers recent changes to their defensive scheme & why it's been leading the charge during this win streak, including how they're icing side Pick & Rolls, utilizing a strong side zone against Stars, how Luka has been a successful piece in the scheme, and why DFS, Vando & Gabe help unlock this particular scheme.
