OUT: Mo,Dlo,2Ws. Shortest time at .500+ in history. Lakers were out-shot,
out-Run, out BH'd, out-hustled all game. 6 guys in DFs and AD 1 RB short of a
DD - LBJ/AR both with 5 TOs. 108-118 Lakers lose by 10, but it was worse than
that - let's hope they can get some payback on Wed and get back to .500.
FBP: 2 vs 7; PIP: 46 vs 50; POT: 16 vs 34; SCP: 12 vs 10.

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

Q1 - Where's the D and CHI is shooting unconsciously - shooting 56% vs 67%;
pluses 3/1/0; minuses 4/3/0. Brown 8, Davis 6, Reaves 4. 26-29=-3Q.

Q2 - Vucevic gets tossed with 1m to go for mouthing off to refs - still not
enough D and 6 more TOs - shooting 53% vs 56%; pluses 2/1/2; minuses 6/3/3.
Reaves/Brown 7, James 6, Schroder 5. 29-34=-5Q.

Q3 - AD jams a left finger at SOQ - still not enough D and now lacking O plus 4
more TOs - shooting 44% vs 50%; pluses 1/0/0; minuses 4/7/1. Davis 7,
James 6. 23-28=-5Q (78-91=-13).

Q4 - Lakers make a run, but not enough when you're down 20 - shooting 50% vs
46%; pluses 2/3/2; minuses 4/5/4. Beasley 12, Schroder 10, James 5.
30-27=+3Q.

Schroder 5. 55-63=-8H.

vs 48%; pluses 3/3/2; minuses 8/12/5. 53-55=-2H.

FG - Lakers just didn't have it for this early game (I wouldn't allow games this
early if I was in charge) - poor BHing, D, RBing - shooting 51% vs 54%;
pluses 8/5/4; minuses 18/18/8. 108-118=-10G.
