The Lakers were absolutely powerless to stop Serge Ibaka. “The best thing is he’s doing it with some real good composure,” Raptors Coach Nick Nurse said. “He’s getting [the ball inside] and there will be some things going on and he’s taking his time. He’s using his size, his power, and using pretty good footwork.” Lakers Coach Luke Walton felt that it was the execution rather than the plan that caused problems for the Lakers in dealing with Ibaka. “Originally, we were going to live with him taking contested twos and we got to keep Kyle out of the middle of our paint,” Walton said.
