Lakers shocked the Spurs behind Kobe's 34 and a strong 3-rd quarter where they played some stifling defense and forced the Spurs in to a tonne of turnovers. Spurs should have been seeing flashbacks of the good old days when they had problems stopping Kobe in those playoffs during LA's Shaq-era. But it was not just Kobe though. Lamar Odom had a near triple-double and Luke Walton is becoming a player for them too. Good win for the Big Chief triangle and a bad loss for the Spurs.
Suns are rolling right now and the Bobcats were in no position to stop them. Charlotte lost their third straight game by 20 or more points. Some players tend to have career games against the Suns because of their defense and style of play and today it was Sean May's turn. He had 26 and 10, but he Suns don't care as long as they win. Amare and Diaw had good games. Diaw is learning to play with Amare really well now. The Suns won behind some balanced scoring and that is quickly becoming the story here. The Suns are very talented, very deep and very versatile. Jalen Rose and Marcus Banks are hardly getting any minutes now. Thats how deep they are. Tomorrow's match-up against Orlando should be a good road test for the Suns.
Golden State lost another close game with Baron Davis sitting at the scorer's table and Nelly not being able put him back in! They are losing close games in interesting ways. The only good news for them is that Matt Barnes is currently enjoying an extended role with JRich injured and is producing well.
San Antonio @ LA Lakers – 99-106
Phoenix @ Charlotte – 114-84
Interesting games on the board for tomorrow, the Dec 11-th (Monday)
Phoenix @ Orlando – Good match-up for the Suns on the road.
Cleveland @ Hornets – Can The King get it done on the road?
Dallas @ Utah – Western elites clash here. Good test for Dallas.
