Denver Nuggets played our L.A. Lakers and
the ending score showed its' ugly face. We
lost the game. The score was: 119-101.
Rookie Jordan Clarkson had 21 points
and Ryan Kelly added 17 but we still
lost four games in a row & 17-21.
Made up for it last evening however, as
we won Friday night, ending score of:106-98.
against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Ryan Kelly scored 21 points & rookie
Jabari Brown added 20 points + 7 assists.
It was a win-win game right from the start.
Point guard Jeremy Lin, however, was sidelined
by a sore left knee + coach Byron Scott sat
Carlos Boozer, Jordan Hill and Wayne
Ellington in order to give some of his other
players more minutes while the club continues
to evaluate where they stand for next season.
The Lakers (21-58) who have already set a
franchise record for losses, increased a 5-point
half-time lead to 70-54 with an 18-7 run that
included 3 baskets by Kelly from a 3-point
range. We came out strong in the 4th. quarter
with a 12-4 spurt that widened the gap to 92-75
with 8:07 left to play. During that run, Clarkson
made a behind-the-back pass to Brown for a
fast-break-layup. The injury-riddled roster has
occasionally forced development coaches
Thomas Scott & J.J. Outlaw & assistant
coach Larry Lewis to practice.
The Lakers have not decided whether they will
attempt to re-sign guard Jeremy Lin, who
becomes an unrestricted free agent in July.
Our upcoming game is in L.A. at Staples
this coming Sunday evening against the
Mavericks so we shall see how this goes..
In the meantime, have lost a very young female
basketball player. Her name : Lauren Hill.
She played college basketball and lost her
young life fighting a cancerous brain tumor.
She was only 19 and lost her battle on Friday.
Her motto, fighting cancer was"Never give up".
She inspired those around her and will be
remembered as having a fighting spirit.
R.I.P. Lauren.
