Lakers with KCP out and AD out for H2 had a terrible showing for home crowd -
they looked awful all game with no real energy. Barely 40% shooting, 15 TOs &
lethargic D cost them the game. 5 guys in DFs with LBJ getting the DD. Lakers
need to be shooting in the 50s and showing dominance on O. 92-100 Lakers lose
by 8 but is looked a lot worse than that.
