OUT: Gabe,2Ws. Lakers had another terrible start which they almost made up for
in Q2, but they lacked E/A in H2 and couldn't match up to BOS's E. 5 guys in
DFs with AD getting the DD and LBJ close to another TD. AD the only 50+%
shooter, so shooting was weak. Lakers -16 on POTs & -4 on SCPs - clearly BOS
showed more energy/smarts. 115-126 Lakers lose by 11. Be nice to add a 7
footer to the roster next season to help with their mediocre RBing.

FBP: 5 vs 8; PIP: 50 vs 58; POT: 3 vs 19; SCP: 9 vs 13.
