With the Lakers set to tip off the second round of the NBA playoffs against the Houston Rockets on Friday, head coach Frank Vogel isn’t looking to give Houston any free looks at his game plan.
The Rockets have gone all in on their micro-ball starting lineup, not starting a single player over 6’7. It’s led some to speculate that the Lakers — who start two seven-footers in Anthony Davis and JaVale McGee — may have to adjust their own first-unit in order to keep up.
