He finished the game with 7 points / 10 rebounds and +23 on the court.
He was the primary defender of KD in the 4th and showed great defence.
ironically, he was a better defender than a scorer so far for the lakers

Wood being willing to do the dirty work on this Lakers team is gonna earn him playing time, gonna earn him money going forward, and is gonna free AD up a little more defensively which elevates the ceiling of the Lakers defense. That can unlock AD as a disruptor and defensive playmaker.
He always has had the physical tools to defend. And his combination of wiry strength and quickness makes him a solid matchup on KD compared to many.
