OUT: JHS,2Ws. LBJ started the game hot, but that was it after halway thru Q1.
Lakers got it close a few times, but couldn't keep up the E/A enough to pull of
a W. Perimeter D has to get a lot better and BHing can improve along with the
shooting. 5 guys in DFs, with AD/LBJ getting the DDs. Be glad when this road
trip is over and they can rest up and start fresh. 108-124 Lakers lose by 16.

FBP: 9 vs 7; PIP: 54 vs 34; POT: 18 vs 23; SCP: 10 vs 12.
