Los Angeles Lakers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
The second night of a back-to-back is where you find out what a roster actually is. Legs are gone, rotations go strange, somebody who played four minutes last night plays twenty tonight, and a coach has to decide in public which games he is prepared to lose. It is far more interesting than it sounds and it is completely invisible on a highlight package. Cleveland are a serious opponent who will punish any of it. A Friday tip downtown means the plaza and the restaurants along Figueroa run at full volume beforehand, so there is a whole evening available either side of the game rather than just the two and a half hours in the middle. Go on the tired night. The basketball is messier and the decisions are better. Friday tips also mean the surrounding bars stay busy long after the final buzzer, so there is somewhere to go and argue about what you just watched.
