This seems to ignore what the Lakers shot from the field in the 4th quarter, which was exceptional.
Having said that, the Lakers are a good road team, and they usually have occasional games where their defense is lacking, and then play hard when they really have to in order to win a game. And they only need 1 of the next 2 in Orlando to be in great shape.
