News: Lakers sign 6'7" wing Dylan Windler to a two-way contract with the Lakers.
Lakers reportedly signing guard Skylar Mays (6'4', 205) to a 2-way contract.
Maxwell Lewis was assigned to the G League's South Bay Lakers. The Lakers also
ended the two-way contracts of D'Moi Hodge and Alex Fudge.

OUT: Rui. Where's the D? Lakers really need to figure out how to defend the
perimeter and keep the OPP out of the paint. Luckily, despite being out-shot,
the Lakers were +20 in FTs to get the W. More questionable reffing again, but
looked to be on both sides. 7 guys in DFs with AD/LBJ getting the DDs and AD
making all his 3s. I'm wondering about these coaches - either they can't coach
or the players are getting it. TOR played an exc game on both ends tonight and
w/o their big. 132-131 Lakers win by 1.

FBP: 5 vs 5; PIP: 50 vs 70; POT: 15 vs 28; SCP: 5 vs 11.

Q2 - No O in Q2 and really poor D/RBing - shooting 43/27/40% vs 50/25/50%;
pluses 1/2/1; minuses 4/5/3. James 5. 23-29=-6Q.

Q3 - Once again, enough O, poor D - shooting 65/63/86% vs 65/67/100%; pluses
1/4/0; minuses 6/4/0. James 12, Prince 8, Russell 5. 37-36=+1Q (88-89=-1).

vs 64/72/83%; pluses 3/4/3; minuses 10/9/1. 81-78=+3H.
