Above everything else, the playoffs are about matchups. That gaudy record, those all-stars, the odds, teams can toss them out the window if they run into an opponent who has their number. And for the most part, everyone has and knows the identity of their boogeyman.
In that first half, they punched us right in the mouth... They were the aggressors. When you're the aggressive team, things go your way. They had us on our heels all game.
With a 68-to-42 slobber knocker of an advantage in points in the paint and yet another double-digit victory, Sunday was the latest reminder that the Lakers are indeed a bad matchup for the Pelicans.
