OUT: Vando,CW. Lakers looked really good in H1, but crappy in H2ere they tired
or what? 5 guys in DFs with AR/AD getting DDs and LBJ 1 AST short. AD in
particular only scored 17 vs what shoulda been in the 30s. Not enough
aggression on either end in H2 esp D. 114-124 Lakers lose by 10.

FBP: 5 vs 5; PIP: 62 vs 64; POT: 15 vs 7; SCP: 9 vs 12.
