Live by The Jumper, Die by it. LA Loses

Posted by Barry

Old coaching adage, “live by the jumper, die by the jumper”. As Phoenix went to zone “D” yesterday, the Lakers began firing from the outside, instead of going inside, which is their strength for easy buckets or foul shots. Result 9-32 or 28% of 3 pointers. Game decided at foul line as Suns made 21 more foul shots on 22 more attempts in 9 pt. win. Most games are decided at the foul line, usually by most clutch or accurate teams. This time by more aggressive team.
