This was far from the worst game of the year, even if the Lakers defense was pretty horrible, they still are showing signs of improvement in many other areas, it's bizarre how many shots they were missing though, wide open shots, at the basket shots, tough shots and easy shots they simply were not converting on the baskets they 'should' have converted on. But it boils down to defense, you know things are bad when in the final 6 minutes your opponent scores on nearly every possession save for the ones where they just took a bad shot and missed. Still, even with the bad defense, I still think the Lakers would win this one if they were just hitting their shots at a more normal clip. Could have been a lot worse.
