What a difference a day makes...24 little hours with the sun and the flowers..where there used to be rain. Second chance opportunity surely..Fridays game? A hard one to describe against Oklahoma City Thunder..with our team losing big time.. Score:Oklahoma City 91 and Lakers only 75. At one point in the game trailing by 33 points. No starters seemed to help nor bench either.. Then Saturday's game in Houston the Lakers came alive..winning by 8 points, Lakers:109 and Houston Rockets 101.Ron Artest hurt his foot & was in pain but kept walking and limping about so that it would not freeze up on him. Derek Fisher jumped in with both feet and helped his buddies out by tying his season high with 15 points. Jordan Farmar scored 14 points and Kobe Bryant missed a triple-double by one assist. The Lakers led by 21 points in the third quarter. Pau Gasol scored a season-high 30 points on 11 for 17 shooting & also had 8 rebounds + 4 blocked shots and 2 assists. If by some chance Lakers can win against the New Orleans Hornets & the Atlanta Hawks, they can still sew up the best record in the Western Conference for the 3rd. consecutive season. We can only hope. Babs Wells
