A good start for the Lakers! They're playing pretty well, Gasol is really active in protecting the paint, Odom has come out looking to be aggressive... and Ariza hitting 4-of-5, including two of three 3-pointers, for 10 points in the first quarter!
The defense is pretty active, and while there are still some holes, a decent start like this tends to lead to a real defensive ramp up later in the game. In summation, the Lakers have gotten a good start and are setting themselves up well for a good game and a potential win to close out the series.
