On defense, GSW has been equally formidable. They've consistently applied pressure on their opponents and have managed to maintain defensive efficiency even when faced with high-scoring offenses like that of Phoenix Suns.


The Los Angeles Lakers will certainly pose challenges with their own set of skills and strategies but based on recent performances; it is clear that GSW holds several advantages going into this game. The key for them will be maintaining their shooting accuracy while continuing to leverage their bench strength effectively.
