The only team to score over 100 pts against them in their loses was memphis. Look at the stats, not even miami or the spurs scored 100 pts against them. For some reason they are getting their asses kicked in the 4th qt, which is the quarter that the Lakers have owned for the last 3 to 4 years. I think it has more to do with motivation than anything else, and because they have dominated the 4th qt so much, too many of the players have assumed (know what they say about assumptions) that they will win the 4th qt. Also, in the 4th qt they need to pound the ball inside to the big guys rather than shoot 3's from the outside. They are doing the other team a favor by taking the 3's.
