Yup, we did it up proud! Won Sunday's game
at Staples Center against the Charlotte Hornets.
Both Kobe Bryant and Jeremy Lin each scored
21 points with ending score being: 107-92.
Carlos Boozer made 16 points, Jordan Hill
made 12 points, Ed Davis 10 points and Wayne
Ellington made 9 points. They really did a super
job finally with their 6th game into this new
season. Now Charles Barkley can end his
self inflicted fasting and sit down to a good
meal. Purple and gold streamers fell from
the rafters and Randy Newman's "I love
L.A." blared over the loudspeakers. The
Lakers awarded their fans with free tacos
for holding an opponent under 100 points for
the first time all season. Smiles on many faces!
There was a sell-out crowd down at Staples.
In fact, 18,997 seats sold out. Well, that is
ONE, coach Byron Scott declared but now on to
Memphis on Tuesday so hopeful for another win!
The Lakers played their first five games in seven
nights, including two back to back games and
all against play-off-caliber opponents. Namely:
Houston, Phoenix twice, Clippers and Golden
State. So you see, our Lakers took 6 games
before some appealing developments emerged.
It was noted today that former NBA player
Ernie Vandeweghe, age 86, has died.
He played for the N.Y. Knicks in 1949-56.
He was father of former NBA Star Kiki
Vandeweghe plus he was once the
Lakers Team physician. In High School
he played baseball, football and basketball
at Oceanside High School. May he R.I.P.
Now to look forward to our next road game!
