What I liked about the win was that we weren't lucky or shooting an unusual high percentage or were favored by the refs or they played really bad or someone of them got injured. It was a very solid win. Apart from the four points in 0.7 seconds and the three turnovers to start the second half we played calm and composed. We were active on defense and spread the ball on offense. Almost all of our players contributed to the win, without having a stellar performance. On this we can built. We need to be better, because we'll face a more determined opponent in the second game. So Lakers are still very good but I feel they have less chemistry than we have. Our team has this "band of brothers" thing going, while they have a bunch of quality players who don't really seem to care about one another. Also, compared to other arenas, their fans are tame, pussycat tame.
