Lakers looked like the big, physical, oppressive & athletic team that made them successful earlier in the year.
Rui/Vando starting to get comfortable within that is no coincidence.
Getting Austin back with DLo/Bron/AD allowed him to refill that connector role.
Great win.

Oh crap. Sorry everyone. That win doesn't count. Lakers shot eight more freethrows than the Thunder. Welp.
