OUT: Mo,2Ws. 5 guys in DFs & Rui gets the DD; AD 1 RB short; LBJ moves into 4th
all time on triple doubles. I'm still disappointed in how poorly these guys
block out and RB. Don't let the OPP into the paint on either end !! Lakers
shot 56%, but didn't shoot well from 3 (30%) and only 75% on FTs.
134-109 Lakers win by 25 and Tacos for the fans.
FBP: 9 vs 3; PIP: 68 vs 56; POT: 15 vs 4; SCP: 14 vs 16.
