James Worthy reacts Lakers beat Raptors for 7th win in last 8 games as they try, rise in standings

Hello and welcome to access sportset Lakers driven by your Southern California Honda dealers Chris McGee James Worthy Derek fiser Mike bresnahan trudell out in Toronto the Lakers get the win over the Raptors they go to 4- one on this East Coast trip they are 10 games over 500 and they’re still in

Ninth place which is crazy but they used a 36 to 21 third quarter and a dominant second half be game to blow this open and kind of cruise it was nice to have one of those yeah I mean Gater you know after the the games the three games they

Won prior to that this was a must-win against a subpar team and you know they needed to just win the game uh and they they went in took care of business you know you can talk about the stats as much as you want but I think they just need to get this Victory

Against a poor team and they did that yeah yeah I mean in in a backto back situation often times you set yourself up for success by taking care of business the first night um and this was a professional win like these these are the types of games that like when you’re

A professional team that has high expectations for yourself this is the game that you show up you take care of business get out of town and move on and close out the road trip yeah you know you speak a professional 38 assists for the Lakers really efficient you know

They outscored Toronto by 24 from the three-point line even though the Lakers are shooting threes better this year than they have in 10 years it’s not a lot of times where they they shoot a lot and really you know bludgeon a team from the three-point line today was that day

So a couple really good things I saw from them uh you’re right defish now you got to be professional one more game you got to get through customs as quickly as you can not easy not easy you’re playing in DC tomorrow that’s so you got you got

To finish that road trip 5-1 and keep putting pressure on the Phoenix Suns and the Sacramento Kings you know Phoenix has the hardest schedule in the NBA over their final seven games so the Lakers need to keep you know putting away these teams below 500 keep those teams make

Those teams win cuz if they start to falter you might sneak out of that 9 10 game this trap game going in the DC you got to be careful cuz as you mentioned they get out Toronto midnight tonight yeah it’s going to be late then Customs

Is going to be a little while then dullas about do they find D like an hour drive something like that so yeah they got to they go to they got to be careful tomor because you know most guys going to get in they probably have already

Slept a little bit so they’re going to have to adjust to getting in late and then getting up probably won’t get up in the morning sure would be nice to finish that got to figure out got to figure out how to take care of this one tomorrow I

Mean they they’ve done it on this trip already they won the game in Milwaukee and they showed up in Memphis and took care of business so do it again tomorrow let’s go back to Toronto ruy haimura is with Mike trudell all right ruy haimura first of all how about that Jackson

Hayes dunk what’ you think we didn’t expect that you know we I think he he fell so hard in the first half so I we we awarded about it but you know I guess I guess he was fine you know it was it was great yeah looked pretty easy for

Him he just went up put it between his legs no problem yeah he actually do that during the warm-ups but I didn’t think he got like that so yeah it was it was it was pretty impressive all right another efficient scoring night for you ruy really have found your Rhythm found

The places that you like to attack within that starting lineup what’s been working for you it’s just play for each other you know we we track each other we share the balls and all that so yeah that’s that’s helping us right now and I think we got we got to keep doing the

Same thing four wins so far on this trip just the one loss but one more game to go against Washington what’s important for you guys to try and close it out on a back to back it’s a back to back like you say know we got to rest rest start

Right now you know start from now and we we just got to focus on next game and yeah we just got to play hard you know they play so hard so yeah I know I know the team so yeah you got to we got to we

Got to keep pushing of course that was your team before the trade to the Lakers you know them well uh they played pretty well in their game tonight against Milwaukee uh what are the keys for you against that specific team to just get a win yeah you just got to play hard you

Know uh they they’re a young team they’re trying to figure it out you know they have they have almost nothing to play so you know uh we just got to we just got to focus on you know us and we got to be them appreciate it ruie thank you

Appreciate there he is ruie haimura saying hello to the kids taking some photos he’ll be getting on a plane and playing against his former team the Washington Wizards tomorrow night BR and the Lakers pick up the win 128 to 111 11 they go to 43 and 33 let’s start with

Dowlo DLo had a big game 25 points big game we call it a heater seven of 14 from three we thought he had eight but they took one away after after review but he was uh you know lights out tonight also had seven assists yeah he’s a major threat because he does several

Things you know um he’s a big threat from behind the ark obviously and when he’s handling the ball his ability to look off Defenders as he’s manip as he’s going downhill uh he throws the lob he makes some really nice exceptional passes leading his teammates out front

But when he has that three ball going and he feels it uh he’s he’s one of the best in the league at at doing what he does he just take a look at this graphic right here he’s uh he’s he’s making it happen from behind the arc and the

Lakers have always had that issue do we have three-point Shooters can we find that he’s a legitimate one that we can count one of the best in the league no doubt yeah go ahead fish yeah I mean D’Angelo is the direct beneficiary and and probably the leading cause of like

The increase in just the sheer volume of Threes that the Lakers really needed to be shooting mhm they are now shooting 41 three-point attempts tonight it’s a lot for them there were a lot of nights where barely getting to the high 20s was it just wasn’t natural in the DNA for

The team over with the last four or five years so when you get into mid-30s 43-point attempts for a guy that can shoot the ball as well as D’Angelo does not necessarily as great getting downhill and and attacking the paint to score so an increasing threes is what

That’s what’s going to benefit D’Angelo being able to shoot this many threes in the game 14 three-point attempts by himself that historically was half of the threes that Lakers would shoot in in an entire game yeah that is what helps move the scoreboard and it’s it’s energizing the team in general you may

Not shoot as high of percentage as he’s shooting but they need the volume in order to be able to compete against the best teams you know I love what you have brought up before educating fans and stuff about you know the Lakers were built around your two best players are

Paint guys so you’re not going to shoot as many threes as the Warriors or other teams like the modern NBA is but right now you see that ball moving and the way the Lakers are playing and the way they’re spreading the floor those threes are starting to come like you guys have

Talked about so it’s been great to see kind of the evolution of this team pres let’s kind of switch gears and go to LeBron what’s funny about LeBron is just a couple nights ago he’s nine for 10 the greatest knight ever in Laker history from three percentage wise with at least

10 attempts and tonight he shoots one yeah and he goes to the paint and does the does his work and goes for 23 on 12 shots 10 of 12 and also has nine assists and just kind of a another day at the offense he can’t score 40 every night

Right yeah another day at the off so I kind less than 30 minutes too yeah yeah that that’s yeah great thing about this game he barely played in the fourth quarter just the first few minutes ad got that fourth quarter rest so hopefully he’s uh that much more fresh tomorrow in DC yeah

LeBron you know he did what he had to do you know why not let ad get his 21- 12 you know let ruy get some shots let let DLo go nuts in the second half with with all the threes you LeBron managed this game perfectly that’s why sometimes we

Talk about it and we do this a lot on on non-game day shows uh G hey are you know are we concerned about LeBron and his his workload and the minutes he’s playing the answer is almost always no because you know he he knows how to how

To rest while in a game you know defer to your guys you know hopefully you get a blowout like tonight which has not been the norm for the season but you get to sit out you know a few extra minutes in that fourth quarter he’s a very smart

Guy if you distribute it’s a little bit easier than than having the score big game he doesn’t care what we all think about the workload he’s going to play how he played and you always say this on our air he he’s he prepares for this that’s his whole thing so he knows what

He needs to do he knows the minutes he’s going to play in big game I think he’s got 63 points on the last and in 30 shots in his last two games I mean that’s that’s the efficiency 29 shots yeah I mean we said night in and night

Out his ability to choose what style of game he wants to play it’s like looking at your garage say oh I want to drive the rose or I don’t want to drive the leus I want the BS he picks a game he want to play not a lot of Threes tonight maybe he

Didn’t have the lift maybe he knew in his ankle that he didn’t have it tonight what’s that like you it’s kind of like your house Well mine’s a Ford mine’s a Ford I’ve seen you I’ve seen you roll up a couple different cars maybe uh some of

That de fish money that ain’t my money uh but uh yeah I mean his ability to know the team he’s playing and know how they’re going to defend him pick the game he wants to you know to to play against a particular team he he knows Toronto know sucks and

He knows like you know he know that Washington don’t mean to be too harsh but he know he knows that Washington will be a different style tomorrow so you know that’s that’s what he does he just kind of picks and choose who’s guarding how they planning that’s how he

Play We Lost 14 in the row so yeah it’s not a good team right now follow that Bugatti was who Bugatti was that in the parking lot was that was yours St fish you’re D for T night you drop Drake’s Bugatti Drake is no longer at the game busy
