Lakers - 103, Hornets - 88 →

That losing streak felt 10 games long, didn’t it? I don’t know whether or not to be super happy about tonight’s win or be conservative with my happiness because it was the Hornets and just one game. It was a great game though by all accounts. Kobe was good and bad. He didn’t overdo it, only taking 14 shots and ending up with 20 points. He turned over the ball a lot...

Andrew Bynum will be starting his first game of...

Late addition to the lineup.

L.A. Sportscenter. Here’s to hoping for a win against the Hornets. (Game starts in 5 minutes)

“If I was playing, I probably wouldn’t pass him the ball the next time.”

– Phil Jackson on Kobe missing 13 consecutive shots. Sometimes I think Phil has Derek Fisher in the game JUST so he can not pass to Kobe. Seriously, not even joking.

“I couldn’t put the ball in the basket and it snowballed from there. It’s my...”

– Kobe Bryant

Lakers - 82, Spurs - 97 →

Want to know how bad the Lakers played tonight? Well after starting the first half of the game looking pretty decent, the overall numbers, like the Lakers in the second half, look pretty bad. Kobe finished the game 8-27. He started the game hitting his first three shots and then after that was basically a non-factor. Still, the Lakers had their chances. Manu Ginobli was only 3-12 and Tim Duncan...

Lakers v. Spurs Matchup, 7:30 ET

Post-Game Numbers

52 Games left for the Lakers to re-discover their championship mojo. Kobe Bryant summed things up pretty well after the contest: “I’m not frustrated, just upset. I think these games mean more to our opponents than they do to us, and I think we need to get that straight. We need to play with more focus, and put more importance on these games. I don’t like it. We know what we’re capable of doing –...

Postgame quote from Kobe - “I think these games mean more to our opponents than they do to us.” I think they mean more to us fans too. I got some feedback that I was overreacting, which may be right. I’m just not a fan of, “we’ll turn it on in the playoffs.” Seriously, with the way the Spurs and Mavericks are playing we could lose home-court advantage for the...

Lakers - 80, Heat - 96 →

Lakers just gave all of their fans coal for Christmas. :[ Is it safe to say that the Lakers are … *gulp* … mediocre? Two straight blowout losses, one to the Bucks and one on Christmas Day might give that credibility. Yeah, this team has Kobe & Gasol & Odom & Bynum, but this team plays terrible defense and seems to exert zero effort at all. I actually thought the Heat were...

53.8 Milwaukee’s first half shooting percentage, as L.A.’s defense waned a bit in early energy coming off the six-game road trip. The Bucks would cool off in the third quarter, hitting just 40 percent, but nail 57.1 percent in the fourth (including 3-of-3 from three-point range) to run away with a victory. 22 More points in the paint for the Lakers than the Bucks. L.A. got 15 points from Pau...

Lakers - 79, Bucks - 98 →

Description: Lakers got their ass beat. By the Bucks. At Staples Center.

Kobe’s Motivation. Wilbon: Will the result of the Laker-Miami game mean anything to the big picture of the season? Kobe: *laughs* No. No, not for either one. We’ve gotten rocked on Christmas Day and won a championship. We’ve done the rocking on Christmas Day and won a champ-, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter one way or another, it’s all about how you...

26,514 Points for Kobe Bryant in his career thanks to his 20 against Toronto, pushing him past Hakeem Olajuwon for third on the NBA’s all-time franchise scoring list. Only Michael Jordan and Karl Malone had scored more points for their franchises in league history. 57 Bench points for the Lakers in a fantastic second unit effort. 56 Points in the paint for the Lakers, who took advantage of...

Lakers - 120, Raptors - 110 →

Pretty much everyone had a solid game, especially the bench en route to the Lakers 5th straight win. Andrew Bynum had his best game since coming back this week, posting 16 points and 7 rebounds. Shannon Brown had 14 off the bench, Matt Barnes 12 and Luke Walton 9. Kobe started despite his injured pinky finger from Friday’s game, putting up 20 points and 4 assists. Pau had 19 points and 8...

28 Season-high in points scored by Lamar Odom, who was terrific throughout the contest. Odom added eight boards and three assists, continuing to play the really good hoop he’d been offering all season. 18 Total points scored by Odom and Matt Barnes … in the first eight minutes of the fourth quarter … to put the game away for the Lakers. 9 Points totaled by Kobe Bryant, who appeared to have...

Lakers - 93, Sixers - 81 →

It was a close game until the fourth quarter when the Lakers just ran way with it. Lamar Odom was the best Laker on the court tonight by far. He had 28 points and 8 rebounds, Gasol closely trailing him with 19 points and 13 boards. Matt Barnes also had a double-double, chipping in 15 points and 10 rebounds. Kobe Bryant re-injured his finger early in the game, and ended up with only 9 points....

Post-Game Numbers

59 Combined points for Kobe Bryant (31) and Pau Gasol (28), who were each terrific throughout. Gasol opened the game making 8-of-9 shots, and Bryant scored 10 straight points in the third and eight straight in the fourth while Pacers fans openly screamed their approval. 25 Assists for the Lakers, who moved the ball very well for the second straight game. Ten players scored in the contest, all...
