YUP....WE....WON....!!
Really a good game for us last evening against
the Milwaukee Bucks. Our Kobe was in such good
form and showed us once again his prowess
on the courts. He made 22 points and it was
a sell-out crowd of 18,997 spectators while
we finally had a victory score: 113-95.
D'Angelo Russell, in his new role as the
Lakers' sixth man, scored 19 points
and delivered seven assists.
Other Lakers in double figures scoring
were Lou Williams (16), Julius Randle (14)
and 14 rebounds, Roy Hibbert and Jordan
Clarkson each scored 12, with Nick Young
making 10 points. Kobe finished with 6
assists as well. He said of the younger
players that he is more relaxed about their
plays and is enjoying seeing the team grow.
It sure did feel more like home last night.
During their previous 8 game road trip
they passed through varying time zones
and guess it rattled their souls somewhat.
It turns out that our Lakers seemed to
have everything they needed at home
to give us a winning game.
The Lakers offense hummed and this all
happened against a team that had ended
Golden State's 24 game unbeaten streak
just 3 days earlier. And it happened 3 days
after the Lakers concluded their 8 game,
13 day trip. In a season in which
we are starved for victories, our players
appeared (for now at least) to be very
well nourished. Bryant sank the final
foul shot as he sparked "MVP" chants.
And so, on Thursday eve (At Staples)
we will be playing against the Rockets.
Keep up the good work lads!
