The Los Angeles Lakers could put the Golden State Warriors against the ropes with a win on Monday night.
They made a statement with a 30-point bounce-back win in their return to Crypto.com Arena, and the Warriors simply had no answer for them for the better part of the game.
That’s why Skip Bayless believes the Lakers will take care of business and send the Warriors back home in just five games.
The Lakers have firmly taken control of this series with Golden State. They will win the next two games. More @undisputed, now on FS1.

Bayless explains that they’re better, tougher, deeper, more aggressive, and, more importantly: Bigger.
He made a point for the Warriors not having a rim protector, which is why he thinks LeBron James should just drive to the rim every time around and continue getting to the foul line at the pace they’ve done it so far.
Bayless also claimed that even though Anthony Davis has shown a pattern of inconsistency throughout the whole postseason, he’s too good and the biggest factor why the Warriors won’t be able to beat them.
Per Bayless, the only way the Dubs get the win tonight is if Davis is a no-show again, which has been the trend thus far.
Draymond Green is an elite defensive force, but he gives up a lot of size to Davis, and the Warriors don’t have a rim protector to match up with Davis.
Kevon Looney is quite good at guarding the restricted area, but Davis’ length and shot-making ability make him a threat from all three levels.
All things considered, this might be the beginning of the end of the dynasty.
