Steve Nash has changed the Lakers' game since he came back. Everyone gets involved. The ball's moving around. Easier baskets. And Kobe still gets his points.
While most teams get energy from their defense, the Lakers seem to be the other way around. If their offensive flow is on the money, their energy on defense is high. Dwight was brilliant on the pick and roll today. He rarely allowed lob passes and penetration in the lane. Metta was great on Melo even though Melo still scored over 30. Kobe was more efficient tonight and I liked that he chose when to take his shots. He carried them in that 3rd when the Knicks threatened to pull away.
This game showed why the Lakers got Nash and Howard. And why Nash wants to play with Gasol. Now I'm excited for January. Clippers, Spurs, Thunder, Grizzlies and Heat. Wag lang sana may ma-injure.
