OUT: AD,Cam,DLo,Gabe,JHS. 3 starters out and AD esp. was sorely missed. No
Tacos for the fans tomorrow. 5 guys in DFs with LBJ getting the lone DD.
Injuries sure do kill the Lakers over the years - let's hope for fewer in the
upcoming games and better shooting. 115-129 Lakers lose by 14.

FBP: 8 vs 7; PIP: 58 vs 44; POT: 13 vs 16; SCP: 12 vs 15.
