The Lakers focused on execution. Unfortunately, they focused so much on execution that they played like crap on defense. Too many dumb fouls and no rebounding or defense outside of Bynum. They also didn't make any of their FT's.
Also, with Kobe being the only starter who could make a post-entry pass, he was the one feeding our bigs. Unfortunately it took him out of his scoring rhythm. Kobe has never been great as combining the Jordan/Pippen role, but tonight was terrible. It was basically the opposite of game 3.
