The Los Angeles Lakers, employing a dynamic offensive system, emphasise rapid ball movement to create advantageous situations. However, hesitation in the mid-court decision-making leads to a higher turnover rate. Defensively, they apply pressure at the perimeter, supported by weak-side help defence, aiming to disrupt passing lanes. Yet, they experience delays in switching during set screens and struggle to protect trailing offensive players during defensive transitions. The Detroit Pistons utilise a half-court passing system, using strong-side and weak-side movements and baseline cuts to create opportunities near the basket. Offensively, they leverage high-low post connections to activate outside shooters. However, a slow start to their plays results in lower offensive efficiency due to defensive players getting into position. Defensively, they employ a flexible zone defence, with rapid perimeter rotations to limit driving lanes, although they show weaknesses in boxing out after pick-and-rolls, especially when defending cuts to the basket.
