Both L.A. Basketball teams won
last night in overtime! Lakers
in Utah and Clippers at Staples.
Interesting evening for watching
our team with their clever plays.
Andrew Bynum blocked a crucial
shot with only 1.9 seconds on the
clock in overtime to lift the score
to a 90-87 victory over Utah.
First winning game on the road too.
This game was too close with Paul
Millsap's tip-in tying the game at
78 with 21 seconds left in regulation.
Millsap led Utah with 29 points.
Bryant sank a pair of free throws for
the final margin, then blocked a long
3-point attempt by Devin Harris as the
Jazz inbounded with 0.7 seconds
remaining in Overtime.
Also in overtime, Bynum came up big.
His tip-in gave the Lakers an 88-85
lead with 51 seconds left, then he
had the block.
Neither team shot the ball well in
the first half but Bryant kept the
Lakers on a true mission with 21
first-half points on 8 of 13 shooting.
Update: Lakers forward Jason Kapono
was not with the team Wednesday so he
could be with his wife, who gave birth
Tuesday to twin girls! And Josh McRoberts
sprained his toe so was incapacitated.
Troy Murphy seemed to still be having
a stomach ailment so did not suit up either.
At last nights' game, guard Steve Blake
suffered a rib contusion in the 4th. quarter.
The next 3 games will be played at Staples.
Good luck boys.
