Lakers totally looked clueless on both ends and got out-shot from all 3
distances. 14 TOs and -6 ORBs with mediocre shooting/D makes for a big L for
game 1. 6 guys in DFs would normally be a good thing - LBJ with the lone DD &
Dre 1 RB short. Totally unimpressive showing for LA. 90-99 Lakers lose by 9.
