OUT: Vando,CW. 4 games left as Lakers slowly rise in the standings. Lakers
were in control most of the game, but CLE tied them up a couple of times to
stay in it. 4 guys in DFs with LBJ/AD getting the DDs. My man AR only scored
7, but made some nice plays. Lakers 56% from 2 and 43% from 3 which kept them
in the game despite 20 TOs and 11 oORBs. 116-97 Lakers win by 19 and fans win
Tacos. If Lakers can eventually learn to BH and RB, they'd blow everyone out.

FBP: 12 vs 5; PIP: 54 vs 52; POT: 26 vs 18; SCP: 8 vs 11.
