Dallas Mavericks beat our L.A.
Lakers with score of: 102-98.
Not so with this last game
played in Colo. against the
Denver Nuggets. Good game.
Kobe played over 30 minutes
and said his legs felt pretty
good. He showed us his stamina,
and made his second triple-double
of the season. Kobe, being so
energized, seemed to be far
more enthusiastic plus emitting a
positive development. He had 23
points on 6-of-11 shooting, 11
rebounds and 11 assists. During
his 19 plus years playing with the Lakers,
this was his 21st triple-double in
his career. He is 36 years old.
The final score was: 111-103
with our team in control having
the lead during the game almost
entirely. Bryant's pass-first
mentality also fueled a Lakers
offense that featured 5 players
cracking the double-digit scoring
mark. Carlos Boozer made 19
points, Ronnie Price had 18
with Wesley Johnson making 16
and Jordan Hill shooting 12 points.
Bryant hit 3 of 4 consecutive
free throws to secure the win.
Earlier in the game he also
swatted away a shot from the
Nuggets 7-ft.-1 center, Timofey
Mozgov. We are now hopeful
that with the games played, perhaps
we can lift ourselves out of the
Western Conference cellar.
We actually led at one time by
23 points. It certainly did give us
cause for applause from this mile-
high city of Denver, Colorado.
I see that on Tuesday December
30th Basketball Hall of Famer,
Sandy Koufax, turned 79.
Belated Birthday Greetings,
and Happy New Year to you all.
