What a game!

Finally get a chance to write something positive in this thing! Seems like it's been forever. The Lake Show finally played well the whole game and down to the last buzzer. Clutch clutch block at the end by Pau Gasol! Another big game by the big 3! Kobe, Bynum, and Gasol with 27, 16, and 25 respectively. Bynum had a huge game with 16 points and 17 rebounds. Bynum had a huge game on the glass with those boards.
      The most important part of the game for the Lakers was their ability to not give up! The Lakers really didn't get the lead outright until the 3rd quarter when they went up by 4-5 points. But like always that could not last forever. With the celtics up by a deuce Pau Gasol came up with the huge game saving tip in with 9 seconds left in regulation; and then they played great defense and put it into overtime. But the biggest play of the game was made by the Spaniard Pau Gasol. When Pierce missed the open 18 footer Ray Allen got the rebound off the miss and went for the game winning put back with time expired but Gasol blocked that attempt sealing the victory. Just a hard played game all around and big and much needed win for the Lake Show! After losing some tough games the last week or so this was a must win big game for them! The bench was pretty much not there again at it hasn't been forever. Matt Barnes was the leading scorer on the bench with 11 points. Standout rookie Andrew Goudelock did not have a point in 8 minutes. Steve Blake's return definitely had a factor on his playing time tonight. But as we all know a win keeps these things in the shadows.
       Let's look to see if the Lakers can continue their winning ways tomorrow night as the 6 game road trip is almost over. Big game against the knicks tomorrow! Goodnight Laker fans and enjoy this win!
