Though they didn't score, the tone was set on their very first possession with the three big men on the floor.Rebounding was the biggest advantage the Lakers had with all of this size, and they made the most of it during this stretch. The Lakers were betting that, in a short sample with no time to prepare, the Clippers would be so flummoxed by all of that size that they would play sloppy offense. Wood provided just enough spacing to make the lineup offensively viable.When the fourth quarter began, James returned to the floor and the Lakers had the luxury of using more typical lineups. The trio of Davis, Wood and Hayes swung the game.And given how much trouble the Lakers have had defensively to open the season, it's worth wondering whether or not we'll see this group again.
