The Lakers lost to Philadelphia in an exciting finish Wednesday, a result that puts the team in second place in the Western Conference behind the Utah Jazz. Although the main event was the matchup between two MVP contenders, LeBron James and Joel Embiid, or even the all-NBA big matchup between Embiid and Anthony Davis, this week’s episode of “I Love Basketball” a Silver Screen & Roll podcast focuses on the undercard: Alex Caruso’s minutes.
This was a game that the Lakers probably did not deserve to win given their lackadaisical attitude towards transition defense and their poor free-throw shooting, among other issues, but they almost had a chance to sneak away with a victory when they put their best lineups on the floor, and those nearly always include Caruso.
