Sorry for being gone the past couple of games, been busy with homework and what not. But excited to be back with a Lakers victory! They started off strong and faded at the end but still held on to a double digit win. Kobe like always led the Lake Show in scoring with 28 points. Gasol had 16 and Bynum had 14 to round out the big 3. What I liked about Kobe's performance early was him passing the ball around. I believe that's why they were able to get that 29-7 first quarter lead was cause Bryant passed up on some shots and passed it to the open guy. The Lakers definitely played more like a team tonight for the first time in a couple of games. Looks like they were rallying behind Pau Gasol who is yet again in the midst of trade rumors.
A big part of the game for me was the play of Steve Blake. Had 17 big points off the bench tonight and was another reason why the Lakers won this game. He was also 5-6 from beyond the arc which was huge because the Lakers has a team don't shoot very well from 3's. The defense kind of faded down the stretch but the Lakers still held on anyway. At one point in the game the lead was 30 for the Lake Show. All and all nothing but positives to take from this game. After a bad loss on the road to the Suns the Lakers came home and took care of business on Portland who is contending for the last spot in the west. Next Laker game is Wednesday at Dallas. Peace Laker fans!
