The Lakers are at their best when they share they share the basketball, when they move their bodies, when they cut to the basket.

They didn't do enough of that at the right times during Game 2.

The Lakers finished the game with 20 assists, but they had just eight in the first half.

The Lakers had eight in the fourth quarter alone.

Kobe Bryant had eight assists, five in the fourth quarter.

If the Lakers are to beat the Boston Celtics, if they are to get by Boston's tough defense, they must share the basketball.
