Why is that important?
Because Luke Kennard is guarding Josh Akogi and the Rockets cannot just sit there and let Luke Kennard exist in this series without going at him.
And they did that way too often.
Just let him exist without punishing him.
Switch of Luke Kennard on Kevin Durant.
Great.
That's a great accomplishment.
That's what you want.
Step one.
Lakers double.
Step two, Kevin Durant passes to Jabari Smith on the right wing.
Step three, defense resets.
This is the moment on so many Rockets possessions where everything just dies.
And you know what happened on this possession?
Jabari Smith went right back to Kevin Durant.
Shen Goon flew up and set a second, a pick and roll for Kevin Durant.
And the Lakers were like, oh, we got to defend another thing.
And they're moving it fast.
And Shen Goon rolled to the rim.
The help was not there.
