The 30: Breaking down the Lakers win over the Hornets. Alex Caruso only playing in the second half, Dwight Howard's monster game, Frank Vogel's rotation, LeBron and Anthony Davis and more with Sabreena Merchant

In this episode, Jas is joined by The Athletic and SB Nation's Sabreena Merchant to breakdown the Lakers win over the Charlotte Hornets. To kick things off, they discuss why the Lakers were able to turn the game into a blowout in the third and fourth quarter. With Alex Caruso once again not playing a second in the first half, but starting the third quarter, does Frank Vogel need to find a way to get him some more minutes? Sabreena and Jas then get into Dwight Howard's throwback performance and why he has looked so good early in the season. Following that, they talk about Kyle Kuzma's pending return and what it does to the Lakers rotation. Is having Kuz back enough to give the team the depth it needs to compete with the other championship contenders in the NBA? To wrap things up, Sabreena and Jas give their opinions on what the Lakers need to improve on going forward and how the team can address some of these needs. Learn more about your ad choices.
