LAL 108 LAC 88. Los Angeles is my home town, and basically that's where my heart stays! What happens when two teams from the same city play against each other? A very exciting game it will be! I'm a huge Laker fan and yeah I still respect the LA Clippers, but you gotta admit, this is LAKERS season to take it! Lakers are on a record of 4-0! I usually have an article when writing about sports, but I always watch the Laker game. Lakers came back and they are ready to win. I was surprised because LAC had an overturn before half-time. But our Lakers never let us down.
The Lakers entered Wednesday night's game against the Clippers with a +21.6 point differential through their first three games, easily the NBA's best. Through four games the Clippers were -23 per night, by far the worst mark in the Association.
It was a game where nothing had to give... and it didn't. Using a 22-0 run over seven-plus minutes in the fourth quarter, the Lakers ran away with what was a close game early, winning 106-88. The LAC actually held a four point lead at halftime, but whether it was an inspired speech from Phil Jackson, a particularly refreshing batch of Gatorade, or the simple realization that, at least right now, the Clippers aren't that good, LAL came out with fire to start the third, erasing a four point deficit and setting the tone for a strong final two quarters. Had they been able to hit the broad side of a barn with their shots- it wasn't until the fourth quarter that the Lakers shot better than 40%- the purple and gold would have put this one on ice a lot faster.
Kobe led the way with 27 points, bolstered by 15 from Lamar Odom and 13 from Derek Fisher.
Lakers, you gotta love them (=
