The 30: The Lakers even up their series agains the Houston Rockets. With Anthony Irwin

In this episode Anthony and Jas breakdown the Los Angeles Lakers 117-109 win over the Houston Rockets to even up their series at 1-1. The guys discuss what the Lakers did differently from the opener to smother the Rockets' high-octane offense, and how they controlled the pace of the game. Anthony and Jas then get into how the Lakers forced Russell Westbrook to try and beat them, rather than letting James Harden run wild. Then, the guys share their thoughts on Anthony Davis' performance, and if he is settling for too many jumpers. After the break, Anthony and Jas discuss what adjustments the Lakers made on the defensive end and if the Rockets are going to be able to make this a long series. To wrap things up, the guys discuss the Giannis Antetokounmpo drama, and if he will stay with the Milwaukee Bucks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
