The Lakers split their weekend games, falling to the Warriors on Friday but then taking down the Raptors on Sunday. Pete and Darius dive into the trends coming out of both games, highlighted by Luka Dončić’s brilliant performances in both games, the starting group continuing to roll and dominate their minutes, the bench’s challenges with holding leads, how some of the struggles from Colin Sexton and Quentin Grimes are contributing to those bench woes, Austin Reaves’ turnover problems and his stewardship of those bench groups, and much more.
