COACH'S QUOTE
"We really turned it on in the second half, but we had too many turnovers and poor defense in the first," said Lakers Head Coach Joe Griffin. "In the second half, we locked up on defense and only turned the ball over four times. Lots of guys made significant contributions with five of our players scoring in double figures. It's great to see how much we are improving every day in this new season."
