This week the Lakers faced the San Antonio Spurs. This was a home game for the Lakers. Unfortunately, the Lakers could not get the job done. The Lakers lost 89 to 88. The Lakers record is currently 35 and 14. Pau Gasol was the leading scorer for the Lakers with 19 points. Kobe was held to 16 points, as was Lamar Odom. When Kobe does not have a big game, the Lakers are not usually on the winning end.
The Lakers should not have lost this game as they dominated inside the paint scoring 42 points compared to the 32 that the Spurs scored. The Lakers also out rebounded the Spurs 44 to 38. The Lakers also had a better shooting percentage from the three point range. The main reason the Spurs won was because with 6 seconds left on the clock, they made a basket that put them up by 1.
Wow! Really close game.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an exciting game to watch!
ReplyDeleteI don't ever watch basketball but close games are always good to watch.
ReplyDeleteIt's sure fun to watch close games, but painful to lose by so little.
