Lakers forward Kennett still performed poorly in this game. He played 3 of 12 shots in 30 minutes, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, and had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls.

TA reporter Tony Jones criticized Kneckett, who believed: "Kneckett is too selfish to play. Once he decides to take action, there is no one else in his eyes."
