The Los Angeles Lakers have shown us a lot this season. They’ve shown that they can make a pairing of LeBron James and Anthony Davis work (go figure), they’ve shown that there’s still some value in playing two centers (thanks JaVale and Dwight) and they’ve shown that they’re capable of being an elite defensive team when they want to be.
The one thing the Lakers haven’t shown yet, though, is that they can slow down two of the three best players in the NBA, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kawhi Leonard.
