The Los Angeles Lakers enter the next phase of their current playoff matchup looking for increased production from their bench players as the series moves to Southern California.
After splitting the opening games on the road, the team returns to Los Angeles this week with an opportunity to take control on its home court. Coaches and veterans have emphasized that consistent scoring and defensive energy from the reserves will be critical to securing a pivotal victory.
Tip-off for Game 3 is set for later this week at the Lakers’ home arena, where the franchise hopes familiar surroundings and crowd support will spark stronger performances from its role players.
