Lakers' Communication Secret: Turning Slump into Wins
28 Jan
Summary
- Lakers improved communication boosted team performance significantly.
- Players focus on understanding roles and executing game plans.
- Recent success follows a difficult period in early January.
The Los Angeles Lakers have turned their season around after a challenging start in early January. During that period, the team lost four out of five games, appearing more like a play-in team than a playoff contender.
Jake LaRavia attributed the team's recent success, including winning four of their last five games, to a significant improvement in player communication. He noted that the team has "locked back in," with each player understanding and executing their specific roles.
This enhanced communication is crucial for setting defenses, rotating players, and managing breakdowns. It allows players to clarify calls and adjust strategies, particularly during complex offensive actions like pick-and-rolls. The team's ability to trust each other offensively has been a cornerstone of their recent back-to-back wins.
