The struggling Lakers had seems
to find an answer to their continuing losing problem as they win two straight
games first against the Uttah Jazz and Now against the Oklahoma City Thunders.
Sunday night at the Staples Center Arena, Los Angeles California; Kobe Bryant
has shifted his game from a big contributor in points to a player to share the
ball with his teammate. In the last two games by the Lakers, Bryant averages
only with 17.5 points with 14 assists. With these stats, the Lakers are much
more a better team than Bryant scoring about 30+ points which ended up in
losing. While the Lakers are celebrating to their 2-game winning streak, the
Thunders are not happy seeing the San Antonio Spurs overtaken them in the first
spot of the Western Conference. Though Durant scored 35 points to end the game
and Russel Westbrook had double-double with 17 points and 13 assists, they
can't stop Kobe and the Lakers. Howard had been stopped by the Thunders but 6
of 8 players who played for the Lakers scored double digit points with Bryant
lead all of them with 21 points. The Lakers after the win boosts to the number
10 spot of the Western Conference and could still come up to the top eight
teams in the West which advances to the playoffs if they can still manage to
play with this kind of tempo. In this midway of the season, the Lakers should
step-up to their usual losing games to catch up and make their way to the playoffs.
