The Lakers' defense against Durant was solely focused on blocking him, unconcerned with whether he might pass.
Seeing the score, the fans in the arena relaxed.
They conceded that the Lakers' offensive adjustments tonight were spot on, with Zhang Yang scoring fiercely, Gasol's passes pleasing to the eye, but their Thunder Team was even more fierce in offense!
The commentators were also saying that the Lakers were only focusing on strengthening their offense, having forgotten about defense... but at the beginning of the game, they were saying that putting Nash and Earl Clark on the bench and starting Artest and Jordan Hill might put the Lakers' offense in jeopardy...
Coming back from the break, Zhang Yang and Gasol went back on the court and continued swinging!
