OUT: LBJ,Dlo,2Ws. Lakers really not into it all night and MIN played tough D to
keep them off their game. Lakers only out-shot MIN from FTs: 42/32/83% vs
47/41/75%. Only 4 guys in DFs and no DDs partly because the RBing was poor.
So MIN D and poor O cost them a W. 102-110 Lakers lose by 10.
FBP: 4 vs 10; PIP: 44 vs 56; POT: 12 vs 18; SCP: 12 vs 8.
