The Lakers have faced alot of challenges this season. From a team that everyone thought would be unstoppable, to a team that is barely making the playoffs. But wait, after LA's performance last night against the Nets, they are obviously not giving up. With the absences of key players, Dwight Howard, Metta World Peace and losing Pau Gasol late in the 4th, the Lakers rallied together as a team for the win. The leader, Kobe Bryant had 21 points and 8 rebounds including a stellar dunk in the last 2minutes for the tie breaker. Also a great performance from Steve Nash, 17 points and 8 assist and Earl Clark with 14 points and 12 rebounds plus the jumper at the 1:11 mark to seal the deal. On the other side, the Nets didnt play as expected. Brooke Lopez lead the team in points and rebounds with 30 and 11. I wasn't impressed with Joe Johnson or Deron Williams, poor shooting, no hustle, no play making nothing. Great game overall, and I predict that will be seeing the Lakers in the playoffs.
