The Lakers are currently in the playoffs in which the best of 7 games are played. In the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers faced the Hornets. The Lakers were able to win 4 of the 7 and advance to the second round after defeating the Hornets 98 to 80 Thursday night in the 5th game of the series. The Lakers will now go on to face the Mavericks. The team has really pulled it together and are looking like they want to win another title.
The Lakers will face the Mavericks this Monday and it will be a tough series for the Lakers, but as long as they continue to work together they should do fine. The Lakers were very succesful rebounding against the Hornets and that is how they scored most of their points. Kobe Bryant has averaged 25 points per game so far in the playoffs. If the Lakers keep on playing the way they are, they should not have any trouble winning the title! This would be their third straight title!

The Lakers are 27 and 14 in away games. The final score was 116 to 108. The leading scorer for the Lakers was Kobe Bryant with 36 points.
The Lakers have had trouble coming away with the win the past few games, but hopefully they turn it around in time for the playoffs. The Lakers were able to win this game because Kobe hit a 3 point shot to tie the game with 4 seconds left sending the game into overtime. The Lakers were able to control overtime as they jumped out to a six point lead right away. The Lakers were up by 20 in the 4th quarter and let the Kings come back and take the lead. In my opinion, the Lakers have been losing more games than they should because they slack off. Hopefully they get it together for the playoffs!
