OUT: Vando, JHS. I thought this was gonna be a loss based on the first half of
the game, but that all changed in a weird Q4 where PHO shot 25/13% which was in
part at least to LA D and PHO had 8 more TOs than LA in the game. 5 guys in DFs
with AD getting a DD and LBJ almost a TD. Only AD/LBJ doing most of the scoring.
Lucky Nurkic was in FT and only played 28m. 100-95 Lakers win by 5.

FBP: 6 vs 2; PIP: 60 vs 36; POT: 29 vs 22; SCP: 6 vs 14.

Quarterly Laker scoring leaders/notes (pluses OR/ST/BL; minuses TO/PF/oOR):

Davis 6, Reaves 5, Russell/Hachimura 4. 24-32=-8Q (72-84=-12).

Davis 13, James 10. 28-11=+17Q.

Russell 10, Wood 5. 48-52=-4H.
