Westbrook missing FTs again.

 

[Retroram52]

And because the Lakers didn't get back on defense, Fox scores a quick basket to cut the lead to 5 with 31 seconds left.

 

[Retroram52]

MONK MISSES A FT. HE MISSES BOTH OF THEM!!

 

[Retroram52]

Westbrook misses another FT!!

 

[Retroram52]

He makes the second one and the lead is now 6.

 

[Retroram52]

Westbrook finally makes both FTs and the lead is 8.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers win it by a score of 122-114. Finally, the Lakers using Small-Ball have won three straight. They are 20-19, 13-10 at home and the home stand continues Friday night against the hawks.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers win the Fourth Quarter by 6 and James finishes the night with 36.

 

[DJ Fieri]

God team win.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea D.J. The Lakers finally put some distance between themselves and the Wolves in the Fourth Quarter and it is the first game that Westbrook did NOT have a TO.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Need this win tonight.

 

[DJ Fieri]

After tonight we have the Lakers at home and at the Kings.

2 more games that we need to win. Win tonight and those 2 and we'll be 22-19 heading into a really tough part of the schedule.

 

[Retroram52]

Dude. You must be tired or something. We get the Hawks tonight, then the Grizzlies on Sunday, then the Kings in Sacramento, then the Nuggies in Nuggeyland. Two wins against the Hawks and the Grizzlies would be nice because the wins thereafter may be difficult.

Stanley Johnson Signs 10-Day Deal With Lakers

The Lakers have re-added Johnson on another 10-day contract. Full story here.

[DJ Fieri]

Interesting lineup.

RW
Bradley
Monk
Johnson
James

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bradley has made 2 of 3 treys early on.

 

[Retroram52]

Saw that. They are doing that to get around some league rules that would have placed Johnson in the open market for a couple of days without a Lakers contract and thus he couldn't play any games but would have been snapped by other clubs because technically he was a FA. So they hurriedly signed him to a second 10-day the moment his first 10-day expired so that they could keep him with a contract and disavowing other teams who wanted to steal an obvious starting player for nothing. So he'll be signed to a full contract like Reaves and Bradley just did.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, Lakers up 11-6.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers Small-Ball is pretty potent. 12-point lead already.
