- I can't remember a game that the Lakers deserved to win less. 24 turnovers. Kobe Bryant goes 3-20. Lakers have a 40-22 free-throw advantage. The referees were not very good, to the point I want to remember their names and see if they're still in the league next year (#32 Eddie F. Rush, #18 Matt Boland, #79 Kevin Scott).
- No Al Jefferson, no Earl Watson, no Raja Bell. Those that needed to step up, stepped up. Paul Millsap had a brilliant grind-out game with 24 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks to lead the way. Rookies Enes Kanter and Alec Burks had new career-highs with 17 points apiece.
- The stat line might not look like it, but Millsap, Kanter and Favors did a pretty good job on Paul Gasol and Andrew Bynum. Next year we will see the Lakers transition from Bryant's team to Bynum's team.
- Josh Howard did a lot of good things on the floor and he had the best +/- stat. But he really needs to learn how to pass the ball on a fast break.
