What a game Lakers vs Grizzlies! Took 2 overtimes to get it done but the Lakers pull it out in the end. Lakers were down at the end of the first quarter by 8 and rallied back to trail by only 1 at the half. Lakers had a poor 3rd and trailed by 9 until they pulled it together to tie it at the end of regulation. Both teams scored 6 points in the first overtime so they played a 2nd. Thats when the Lakers put the game to rest. Kobe and Andrew both made a pair of free throws and that is what iced the game with Memphis missing a pair of 3 pointers.
Andrew Bynum led the pace for the Lakers with 37 points, one of his best if not best game of the season. Also added 16 rebounds to his total. Kobe went for 34 and 9. Pau had 14 and 5 to finish out the big 3. Steve Blake was the leading scorer off the bench with 9 points. This was a hue win for the Lakers cause they have struggled all season with loosing games on the road(last 2 Detroit and Washington). But the Lakers showed resiliency and toughness in this game to never let the game get away from them, and ultimately comeback and get a good win against the team right behind them in the west standings. Next game is vs the Hornets tomorrow night
