The Los Angeles Lakers' defensive woes were more about who wasn't there than who was.
LeBron James was back in the lineup on Thursday night and the Los Angeles Lakers were forced to return to a gameplan of overpowering their opponent with offense. James was around, and the defense was nowhere to be found. It truly is not what it looks like at an initial glance here.
In any case for the Lakers, they have no shortage of firepower.
