Well this may be the case for some Laker fans but most of us are admiring the play of newly acquired PG Ramon Session. He is making us forget the tough loss of Fisher. Frankly I cannot believe that Sessions is not starting yet!! After he learns the offense more in depth he definitely will be in there to start games. Sessions had another good game with 17 points off the bench. Kobe once again had a great game with 30 points, 5 points, and 4 assists. Pau added 27 points and Bynum didn't have one of his best games with 9 points. He did have another technical foul this game and that has to worry fans somewhat. Bynum needs to stop complaining to the refs and getting these techs because it basically cost them the game last night. After he was tossed that was when the Rockets made their run and ultimately won the game after the Lakers started the game leading 40-25.
But it's always a positive when you can beat the defending champs by double digits. Lakers played a really good game tonight. Matt Barnes had another solid game off the bench with 11 points tonight. Barnes has been their best bench player this year so far! Lakers trailed by 2 at the end of the first quarter but since then got the lead in the 2nd and never looked back. Outscoring the Mavs 30-15 in the second quarter gave them the lead for good.
Nothing but positives to take from this loss. With the win the Lakers improve to 29-18 and remain 3rd in the West behind the Spurs. Lakers next contest is Friday back at Staples against the struggling Portland Blazers.
