How Dennis Schroder’s chase-down block changed Lakers’ fate

LA Times  

Cleveland’s speedy guard Darius Garland raced up the court after stealing a pass by Lakers center Montrezl Harrell. Dennis Schroder took off right away, the Lakers’ guard refusing to give up on the play,running at full speed before chasing down Garland and blocking his shot attempt at the rim. It was determined defensive plays like the one by Schroder in the third quarter that allowed the Lakers to take control of the game, sending them to a 100-86 win over the Cavaliers on Friday night at Staples Center. “His effort is inspiring, and those types of plays,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said Friday night on Zoom. “It was a while ago.” The Lakers separated themselves from the Cavaliers because of a smothering defense that held Cleveland to 10 points in the third quarter, the first time L.A. has held an opponent to 10 points or fewer since Dec. 11, 2019, at Orlando.
