OUT: Gabe,2Ws. Pretty amazing game after Q1 - Lakers just smoked NOP. Lakers
start good in Q1, but slack off finiashing -1. After that it was no contest as
LA just stomped on NOP and rest the starters in Q4. 6 guys in DFs with AD
getting the lone DD, but LBJ got 30 pts in under 25m for the 1st time in his
career. Lakers totally out-shot NOP and dominated in all but SCPs (-6),
TOs (+3), BLKs (-1) & ORBs (-1). 133-89 Lakers get the W by 44 and I assume
fans get Tacos.

FBP: 6 vs 4; PIP: 52 vs 46; POT: 19 vs 14; SCP: 8 vs 14.
