OUT: Gabe,Vando,JHS. HOU plays some outrageous D and LA wasted way too much
time trying to beat it. LA out-ORB'd for a change, but had 19 TOs and AD
fouled out (costly at EOG). Only 4 guys in DFs with AD getting the DD and only
21% for LA on 3s. HOU out-shot LA but lost on FTs due to 25 PFs. 105-104
Lakers win by the skin of their teeth again

FBP: 2 vs 2; PIP: 58 vs 48; POT: 224 vs 18; SCP: 9 vs 11.

Quarterly Laker scoring leaders/notes (pluses OR/ST/BL; minuses TO/PF/oOR):

Q1 - Like the 4 ORBs, don't like the fact that no FTs = not enough aggression -
shooting 32/20/0% vs 46/42/60%; pluses 4/1/0; minuses 2/2/2. Davis 10.
20-28=-8Q.

Q2 - Lakers suck in the paint - better O, worse D, poor BHing - shooting
61/20/100% vs 50/50/100%; pluses 0/4/1; minuses 6/5/2. James 12,
Hachimura 6, Reaves 5, Davis 4. 29-27=+2Q.

Q3 - 4 ORBs/7 STLs/52% is good, 5 TOs not so - shooting 52/14/64% vs 44/22/100%;
pluses 4/7/0; minuses 5/3/1. Davis 13, James 10. 32-20=+12Q (81-75=+6).

Q4 - Lakers in trouble with 2 pt lead, 9s to go, HOU's ball; HOU scores 2, 4s to
go; LBJ gets fouled with 2s and makes 1 with 1.9s and LA wins by their
chinny, chin chins - shooting 50/29/67% vs 55/38/100%; pluses 2/1/0;
minuses 5/3/1. James 13, Reaves 9. 24-29=-5Q.

H1 - HOU's D is aggressive and Lakers not so much - shooting 44/20/100% vs
48/45/67%; pluses 4/5/1; minuses 8/7/4. James/Davis 14, Reaves 8,
Hachimura 6. 49-55=-6H.

H2 - LA made up the H1 deficit in Q3, but almost gave it away in Q4 - shooting
52/21/65% vs 50/29/100%; pluses 6/8/0; minuses 10/6/2. 56-49=+7H.

FG - Another really close finish, but a win by 1 is still a win - shooting
47/21/72% vs 49/38/80%; pluses 10/13/1; minuses 18/13/6. 105-104=+1G.
