A wave of 8-0, the Cavaliers directly called a timeout for the Lakers.
If Scott didn't call a timeout soon, the difference in scores would rush toward double digits in no time.
After the timeout, the Lakers brought in Frye.
Now the Lakers had an all-spacing lineup on the court.
This kind of lineup was James' favorite, as he took the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Love, before barreling toward the inside.
After attracting a double team, he passed the ball to Frye on the perimeter.
Frye was quite reliable, though he just got on, his raised arm and three-point shot were swift and decisive.
The role players who could mix well with James were inevitably talented because those without talent had already been cast aside.
This three-pointer was crucial.
However, the Lakers immediately encountered a new problem after Mozgov left the court, as the Cavaliers changed their strategy and let Jokic play one-on-one against Love in the low post.
