We lost. Both games. Last two games played.
But we will try once again this Sunday with the
Grizzlies and see just how we might fare there.
The O.K.C. game had Kobe Bryant back playing
with the team. The last time playing against
them, his right shoulder was painful so he opted
out of playing that game . This time they beat
us by score of: 120-85.. Bryant, who equaled a season
high with 31 points Tuesday night in Lakers' win
over Denver, score of 111-107, played on con-
secutive nights for the 4th. time this season & he
finished with 19 points on 7 for 22 shooting in 27 minutes.
Consider the gift though, that keeps on giving.
Kobe Bryant playing at Staples Center against
the L.A. Clippers right on Christmas Day eve.
And did you know that Kobe surpassed Oscar
Robertson's Christmas Day points made? Kobe made
(so far) 383 in 2012 with Oscar's record of 377.
Well, the miscues came in all shapes and sizes.
The Lakers stayed out of the paint just as the
Clippers (played at Staples center) Christmas
Day eve. when our rookie point guard,
D'Angelo Russell spent (most) of his time on the
bench than out on the court and Julius Randle nursed
(forward) his bad left leg., while Nick Young earlier had
a stomach bug., hence the Lakers' struggle against
the other L.A. team (Clippers) and so we lost 94-84.
Despite pleas from the 18,997 sellout crowd to put
Bryant back in his final Christmas Day game, he sat
out ending with 12 points on 4-of-10 shooting in
26 minutes time. Also, it appeared we could not
seem to overcome shooting only 13 of 25 from
the foul line. Kobe fired off 9 points with a trio
of 3-point baskets, in what seemed like 30
seconds in the first half of the game on Friday.
Even falling behind at one time by 28 points,
we rallied and left the games' ending loss by 10.
Wondering today just how we shall do on Sunday
when we face the Grizzlies mid day. Hope to win!
