LOS ANGELES - If the Lakers intend to pull this out, they are going to have to find a way to unclog the paint and get baskets inside.
They’ve already attempted 20 3-pointers (7-for-20), or one shy of their series high. Of course, Boston is 6-for-19 beyond the arc.
More fun with numbers: The Lakers committed eight turnovers this quarter, so it’s a good idea to take care of the ball.
Also, get settled into your sofa because the rest of this game will be played at the free throw line.
