Lakers Take 2-0 Lead: Are The Lakers Back? Did LeBron James "Son" Kevin Durant?

from The Best of the Sports Shop

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the Lakers win over the Rockets and the dynamic between LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Last night’s NBA playoff action had a little bit of everything, but the Los Angeles Lakers were the main storyline, beating the Houston Rockets 101-94 to take a 2-0 series lead. LeBron James finished with 28 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, but it felt more like controlled production than a dominant takeover, while Marcus Smart had an unexpected 25-point outburst that looks tough to count on consistently. Luke Kennard stayed hot with 23 points, continuing his scoring run. For Portland, Scoot Henderson had a breakout performance scoring 31 points to lift the Portland Trail Blazers to a comeback win, showing real star potential. Has Scoot Henderson arrived? How impressive is LeBron James? So far, has Scoot Henderson been the star of this year’s NBA Playoffs or has it been someone else? Can the Lakers keep it going? Is Kmac a Laker fan again?
