Even with the Portland Trail Blazers team replacing the main players, they were still able to put pressure on the attack because the replacement players they had were better than the replacement players on the Los Angeles Lakers team.
Of course, Derek Fisher and Robert Horry, who were substitute players, were very good, but substitute players in other positions were not so good, luckily Jake was always on the court to make the plays.
In another move Jake was organizing another attack for the Los Angeles Lakers team, Jake passed the ball to Fisher from the right, Fisher received the ball and Jim Jackson came up to press the defense.
Fisher held the ball for a while and passed it to Rick on the left, Rick was not replaced in that game because he had already rested a few minutes in the previous games, this season Rick was happy to play as a starting player for the Los Angeles Lakers team.
