Team Breakdown:
These two teams are very evenly matched, even when it comes to injuries. Some key players are coming back and should make life better for their respective coaches. Both teams love to play pick and roll, and have excellent centers. One team loves to score, the other team loves to grind.
What more is there to discover? Only which team will prevail. Critical Game 5 is in LA, but this is the 20th anniversary (almost to the date) that UTA eliminated LAC from the Playoffs. A win tonight helps make history repeat itself.
