01:12without luka donchich and without austin reeves reeves getting closer though james had a vintage
01:19performance in game two he finds hachimura who knocks down a triple to open play well the fifth
01:24best one-on-one with smart give it up shepherd swing it thompson not looking to take the three
01:32but shepherd will and connects good sign there he's five percent that first one to go down
01:39for the rock he was 0-4 from the field in game two in just 11 minutes lebron james got
01:46a three
01:46straight away trade yeah they're going to double every post up coming from the baseline south
01:53shangun swing it smith
01:55bucket a three oh the three point shooting contest 3 000 points in his career in 8300 in the playoff
02:06shepherd gets to the hoop and a lot he knows that he was coming off today and he's got six
02:13of la's nine
02:14point shangun spin oh that was misty went around 18 when he gets the ball up top they plenty of
02:24them on one
02:25but he hasn't been able to convert open look hachimura nails it
02:31lock that's due and they've had a tremendous advantage in this series in shot attempts
02:37luke canard manny is locked and loaded highest scoring games of his playoff career

02:58on a special delivery eight to hachimura
03:04shangun out on the perimeter hachimura takes in shangun ball fake
03:09lays it in puts the foul i love that he does so much offensively that sometimes he overthinks it
03:16and has too many options but right now he's playing freely guys
03:20back on the offense one for la lebron james gets into the team
03:24the lakers have seven field goals they have seven assists smart denied by thompson
03:33didn't make it to the 65th game he would have been my defensive player of the year
03:38lakers retain possession hayes attacks and flips it in
03:42making their move to the nba
03:45i've been for both thompson twins on my first team all defense this year
03:50smart gets it up and hayes throws it down and the foul
03:56and a mid thompson has had an assist attached to it nine and nine
04:00hayes diving on the floor hayes grabbing it shepherd digging for it
04:05and hayes saves it for canard whip it to the corner
04:08hachimura got a three tremendous sequence
04:12okay i want to rephrase it
04:15take away the tribe smart connects on a long ball
04:23the lakers are really humming right now
04:26canard puts it up and thrown down by hayes

05:04shangun string music on a three
05:06and that's big
05:08in the season
05:11so to see him getting going offensively
05:13it's a major plus for the rock
