    Like clockwork, Stotts waits for a 13-1 run to call a TO. Lead evaporates.

    To much iso ball by CJ. We got the lead by passing and moving without the ball.

    The minutes with CJ/Melo running the show cannot just be isolations over and over.

    To be fair, it's not like the Lakers haven't had their shares of struggles in the bubble.
