Impressive win for the Lakers. No, check that – Impressive win for Kobe Bryant. Amazing performance by number 24. He had 54-10-8 in a double overtime game. Yao was dominating the first half and had a terrific game, but he cant really beat number 24. Nobody can. Awesome talent on a team I would like to hate. What can you do. If not for the Colorado incident and the whole Shaq thing, Kobe would be the biggest name in all of sports. America is a forgiving nation and Kobe can still get to the top if he keeps playing like this and adds another ring to his resume.
Suns won their 13-th straight against the Warriors. Typical Suns game where they lead by 25 in the first half, lost all of the lead in the second half, trailed by 8 at one point, only to come back and win it in the 4-th. These games are good for the Suns. They need to win games in the 4-th. Thats something they have had problems with the last 2 seasons. Diaw is officially back! He had a triple double this game. 21-14-10. He had 10 assists to Nash's 5. Nellie was playing a zone and the Suns put Diaw right in the middle of the zone and let him do his thing. The guys versatility is amazing.
Sacramento came back from 16 down to shock the Jazz at Salt Lake City. Denver lost a surprising one at Boston. Paul Pierce's 38-8-9 trumped Melo's 42-6-5.
Golden State @ Phoenix – 101-105
Houston @ LA Lakers – 101-112
Interesting games on the board for tomorrow, the Dec 16-th (Saturday)
Cleveland @ Orlando - Another road test for Cleveland and they usually fail "road-tests".
Phoenix @ Sacramento - Suns are going for a record 14-th straight on the road, at a tough place, on the back-end of a back-to-back.
