With 1:18 left, the Lakers still have a lead of 6.

 

[Retroram52]

Westbrook makes a deuce shot and the lead is now 7.

 

[Retroram52]

Westbrook makes a FT and the lead is now 8.

 

[Retroram52]

With those 2 FTs, the Lakers lead is 10.

 

[Retroram52]

Wow, the Lakers pull one out of their asses and beat the Jazz at home 101-95. Lakers go back to .500 and stop a 3-game slide.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers host the Pacers on Wednesday. Onwards they go.

 

[DJ Fieri]

We pulled the upset?

Whoa Nelly!!!!

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Pacers are up next.

And DJ, it was the young guys and James that did the heavy lifting. Reaves, Johnson, Monk, THT, Bradley. The old dudes, other James? Useless. The Lakers need to add to major playing time Nunn and Doumbouya.

I think we have the makings of a young core that can be pretty damn good. These guys bring energy and speed to the game and they all play consistent defense. They should sign Johnson outright and move Jordon and Bazemore as soon as possible.

James doesn't need to go to Cleveland to play with some young good guys. He has them in LA and we don't need to trade away our young guys for some older player.

Howard starts the game at Center.

 

[Retroram52]

And he makes both FTs. Unusual.

Westbrook and James hit some shots and the lead is 7.

Lakers still are not playing consistent defense.

 

[Retroram52]

Anthony is back and we lead by 12.
