The Lakers understand what they are up against in the NBA Finals.

The Boston Celtics play defense and they are committed to that.

It means the Lakers will have to be patient.

It also means the Lakers may not score many points in this series.

The Lakers have scored over 100 points in just one of the three games.

In the game the Lakers won, they scored just 87.

Boston doesn't allow the Lakers to get inside or to penetrate without throwing up a defensive wall.

Then Boston also is great at rotating to open shooters.

The Lakers have to keep attacking and wait for the right opening.
