Oh my. Winning two games and then last evening?
The New Orleans Pelicans ahead, then behind, then
ahead once again and the final score? 96-85.
Chris Kaman played his heart out. Jordan Farmar
came onto the court and played with fervor.
Steve Nash sat on the bench clenching his hands
and I imagine wishing he were right out there to
play too. The newcomers, Wesley Johnson,
Xavier Henry and Nick Young showed such promise.
Kaman had 16 points for L.A. Pau Gasol said of
Chris that he is a 'special player because he is
so athletic. He is able to block a shot on one end
and then sprint to the other end and get in a lay-up.
He seems to have a good shooting touch which
does make for a very impressive man on court.
Steve Blake never appears to lose his cool and made
13 points as point guard. A really happy hero of the
game against the Houston Rockets had Steve Blake
making a crowd pleasing 3 pointer for the Lakers to win the
game with the score of: 99-98. Nail biting time for sure!
The Lakers led by 17 points early in the second quarter
before Houston used a 13-5 spurt capped by 7 points
from Harden to cut the lead to 45-36 about 7 minutes
before half-time. The Lakers led at 64-50 then at half-time.
When we played Atlanta we won by 2 points even though
at one time we led by 21. These ending games give us
pause to wonder just what on earth is happening as
our energy levels ebb, to barely win or not win at all?
Well, we will get yet another chance to see where
our strength might topple our opponent (mine and
our Lakers earlier home state) of Minnesota on
Sunday at Staples Center, 6:30 p.m.
BABS WELLS
