ROAD TRIP

Even with a back to back game it became "iffy", but we lost first one and won second one. Seeing Derek Fisher and Kobe Bryant in an embrace was worth it all. Having been team mates for so many years as Lakers it was with mixed emotion to now view Derek playing on the O.K. City team. Pau was in a huddle with the two of them also and we do fully understand, we as their fans. Playing against the Thunder was quite an interesting game to see but they won it and sadly we didn't. Score: 122-97. With probably little sleep and onward then to Charlotte, we again suited up and played against the Bobcats. Kobe was in fine form and strutted his stuff, enough to give us a winning game, making 21 points! He stated that it was ever so great to be feeling his legs minding him so well and he played for 32 minutes. The reserves did very well. Robert Sacre and Jordan Hill are credited for their defense and Nick Young helped a whole lot making 13 points himself. The Lakers bench shot a combined 6 of 25 from the field. Bryant though secured the  victory late in the game snapping their three-game losing streak to improve their road trip record to 5-5. Winning score:88-85. Now on Monday we will be trying for a win at 4:30 West Coast time against Atlanta. Great weather right here so maybe the Atlanta Court will favor us as well. We shall see!
