2 clutch layups with a minute to go in the 4th, absolutely clutch. Durant was far better the whole game, but the Suns were not able to capitalize in the minutes that KD was off the floor.

LeBron is an absolute beast and force of nature whenever he turns the switch on and decides to turn it up. He's an unstoppable force of nature.

More screener/PnR ballhandler Bron led to more success for the Lakers offense. It's a heavier load on Bron's legs but that's putting the Lakers in the best position to succeed. Just have to manage the minutes intelligently, but no way was 29 minutes ever going to hold up. We say it shouldn't be this way in Bron's 21st season and the Lakers shouldn't be this reliant upon him, but it is truly a testament to how great he remains more than anything.

Great players like Bron are ceiling raisers. They're pretty important, to put it mildly, to the success of any team.

To be fair bron does take up a third of the team's cap space, we can't say he shouldn't be relied on when a bulk of the team's resources are spent on him
