Last night's game is very frustrating, especially for Laker fans. The very first time this season, the Lakers lose despite scoring
22 points in the 2nd quarter (above the 21pts mark). And even holding the opponents to only 17 points in the 3rd quarter.
I've read that Mike Brown had changed his rotation in the 4th quarter. That change was beneficial in the 3rd,which however drained the team's energy going to the 4th quarter.
Its great to see the Lakers just scoring as few as 21 points for a
92.86% guaranteed win. Thats all because of Mike Brown's defensive mindset. More emphasis on defense and lesser on offense.
We all know the Lakers can score, as much as to defend any playoff teams in the NBA. Its just a matter of arranging the rotation for the Laker's coaching staff. I'm glad they found this problem earlier as the playoffs is just around the corner.
Dont worry Laker fans
