OUT: Gabe, Vando. Lakers totally surprised me in H2 and pulled out a W in the
1st NBA Cup Qualifying game. They sucked in Q1 and were better on O/D in Q2 &
Q3 still not looking great, but Q4 started great and they held on for the Whole
Q and got the W. 5 guys in DFs with LBJ/AD getting DDs; D'Lo 1 AST short.
Very impressive Q4 after losing 3 away games in a row. Lakers won despite
allowing 17 oORBs mostly with H2 53% on 3s. 122-119 Lakers win by 3 and are
still in the Cup race.

FBP: 7 vs 7; PIP: 52 vs 52; POT: 15 vs 9; SCP: 10 vs 21.
