OUT: AD,LW4,Max/Cole/Pip. Lakers with a bit of slow start in Q1, took the rest
of the Qs for the W. Almost 4 guys in DFs (LBJ/Tom/Russ) and Denny 1 AST short.
AR still in a slump with 5 and LBJ/Russ with 11 TOs between them. So LBJ gets
47 on his Bday (50 woulda been nice). 130-121 Lakers win by 9.
FBP: 10 vs 2; PIP: 74 vs 56; POT: 8 vs 13; SCP: 15 vs 18.
