OUT: Vando,CW. Lakers with a W play Sat at DEN in POs (maybe not so good);
with an L they have an extra game Fri at SAC/GSW and a W there gets them OKC
instead of DEN in POs and an L gets them Cabo. Pretty slow start in Q1, Q2
Lakers totally dominated and in H2 they sucked and were lucky to pull off a W.
I thought LBJ was poor in Q4 in getting some O going and the H2 D wasn't good
at all. 5 guys in DFs with AD getting the DD and LBJ 1 RB/1 AST short of a TD.
NO got 9 more shots, LA got 14 more FTs and made 5 more 3s. LA with 7 more POTs
and 3 less SCPs. 110-106 Lakers win by 4 barely and fans Get Tacos.

FBP: 8 vs 10; PIP: 36 vs 62; POT: 12 vs 5; SCP: 8 vs 11.
