OUT: Rui,DLo. MIA gets back quick to defend; is quick on a fastbreak going the
other way; played a lot of solid zone D. Lakers couldn't make a 3 to save their
life. Every MIA player was in DFs. 5 guys in DFs for LA with AD getting a DD
and LBJ 1 AST off, 2 for AR. 96-110 Lakers lose by 14 but it was worse than
that. -36 pts from 3, -16 pts from TOs.

FBP: 6 vs 8; PIP: 60 vs 42; POT: 6 vs 22; SCP: 11 vs 10.

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

Q1 - Yet another crappy Q1 start; terrible O; terrible BHing; luckily MIA has
no O either, so only -7 Q - shooting 33/0/86% vs 32/25/86%; pluses 2/0/1;
minuses 10/4/2. Reaves 8, Vanderbilt 4. 18-25=-7Q. You'd think AD or
LBJ would be high scorers, but AR is the only O.

Q2 - Still pathetic O and MIA zone has them stymied, but despite 5 more TOs,
they only add 1 to the deficit - shooting 42/33/80% vs 41/35/62%; pluses
4/1/1; minuses 5/6/2. Davis 10, Christie 8, Wood 4. 27-28=-1Q.

Q3 - Something happened with the numbers, so MIA's #s are wrong/missing -
shooting 46/0/100% vs ?/?/?%; pluses 3/1/2; minuses 5/1/0. Davis 12,
Reaves/James 4. 22-19=+3Q (67-72=-5).

Q4 - Lakers unable to score or stop MIA from scoring - shooting 47/14/100% vs
46/41/100%; pluses 0/0/2; minuses 1/3/3. Wood/Reaves 9, Davis 5, James 4.
29-38=-9Q.

H1 - Worst H1 I can remember watching; very lucky MIA isn't a lot better -
shooting 38/19/83% vs 41/35/62%; pluses 6/1/2; minuses 15/10/4. Davis 12,
Reaves 11, Christie 10. 45-53=-8H.

H2 - More of the same shooting 7% from 3! - shooting 46/7/100% vs 46/41/100%;
pluses 3/1/4; minuses 6/4/3. 51-57=-6H.

FG - Most of this loss can be attributed to 13% 3P% - shooting 42/13/92% vs
46/41/100%; pluses 9/2/6; minuses 21/14/7. 96-110=-14G.
