Its times like this where its important to remember this is KP's 5th game in 2 years.
He's still working his way back. He didn't play the best, but there were far worst performers tonight than him (COUGH POWELL, COUGH THJ).
Even Brunson seemed lost.
Carlisle lost his marbles and forgot that Maxi was the best defender for AD, and put Powell in instead. Carlisle also lost his marbles because Wright never came back into the game after 8:00 mins left in the 4th. Powell missed a crucial free throw (heck everyone missed FT's).
But the biggest reason was the refs. Gave LAL everything they needed and then some.
Carlisle is starting to lose me. Maxi was doing a good job on AD in the 1st half. I am totally lost why he pulled him for Powell.
