Who Were Those Men in Purple and Yellow?

Game 5 of the series between the Lakers and the Thunder was last night. I almost didn't recognize the Lakers. They must have read my previous blog post, because they were a new team. They were aggressive. They passed the ball to their big men. They drove to the basket. They dove for free balls. They didn't take senseless three pointers. They rebounded and had lots of fast breaks. I've missed these guys. As a result of their fantastic play, they blew out the Thunder by 24 points. They had a lead by 30 at some points in the game. All of the Lakers starters were able to rest most of the 4th quarter because they were so far ahead. I have renewed faith in the Lakers. I'm glad they came to play. I'm hoping that they do the same for the rest of the playoffs. If they do, they have a good chance to repeat as Champions!
