NBAs: Battle of Los Angeles 106

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 (=
