[Retroram52]

The lead is back to 15.

DRus has 13 tonight. Good overall scoring over alot of players.

 

[Retroram52]

Schrooder makes a deuce and the lead balloons to 18. KICK THEIR ASSESS!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Bums are trying the flagrant crap. AD shoots the flagrant fouls.

 

[Retroram52]

Lead is back to 18 with the AD basket.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers take the win and back to .500 they go.

Good win last night.

AD was aggressive and scored 38 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, had 4 assists, with 2 blocks and 2 steals.

James had 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Reaves scored 19 points and dished out 5 assists.

Russ had 17 points, 4 assists, and 4 rebounds.

Crazy year when teams barely over .500 are the 5th and 6th seeds.

9 teams within 2.5 games of .500 (over and under). Injuries have really balanced out most of the West.

Yeah, if not for Ham's HORRIBLE substitution patterns, the Lakers would've cruised. When you've got Lebron, AD, DLo and Reaves all available, NEVER sit them all at the same time! Shift change substitutions killed the Lakers' leads in this game.

 

[Retroram52]

I agree Shopson and DJ. Ham continues to be a glaring idiot and all four players mentioned by DJ had a great night burying the Bulls and repaying them for the loss in LA. Now the Lakers need to finish-out the season with an above .500 record and get into the top 6 teams if possible.

 

[DJ]

The Lakers are the #1 defensive team in the League since the trade deadline.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers are tied with NO for the 8th spot and they go to Minnesota tomorrow to play the T-Wolves. Would be real nice if they go in and kick their asses.

 

[Retroram52]

The Lakers may finally break-through the .500 barrier as they lead the T-Wolves by 8 with just under 7 minutes to go in the Fourth Quarter. The Lakes had a really good Third Quarter and this seems to be a developing pattern here recently.

 

[Retroram52]

AD makes two Free Throws and the Lakers' lead is 12 with under 7 minutes left in the Fourth Quarter.

 

[Retroram52]

Ad has got 28 and is well on his way to be top scorer for the Lakes for the game.

 

[Retroram52]

AD is owning Towns in the paint.

 

[DJ]

Looking good.

This will be a huuuuuuuuuuuge win.

 

[Retroram52]

Lead is ballooning to 14 with under 5 minutes left in the Fourth Quarter.

 

[Retroram52]

Damn straight DJ. WE go above .500 for the first time this season and we surpass Minnesota for spot number 8 in the play-in tourney.

 

[Retroram52]

AD is just having a great game against K-A Towns. They are going to him nearly every trip down the floor.
