Lakers Take Bite Out of Big Apple...

And almost swallowed it whole. I missed the entire game due to unforeseen circumstances (forgot what time the game was, and holiday shopping for the family). But from what I gathered from the updates I was getting on my cell, they almost blew a pretty sizable lead against an awful team. Final: Lakers 90, New York 91. In the process of nearly blowing a 25-point lead, Kobe went for 39 (and became the youngest player ever to reach 20,000 career points)/11/8. Not bad for a guy who's been hampered by a mild groin injury over the past two weeks.

As I expected, the Purple & Gold took 3 of 4 on the road trip to improve to 17-10 and head home for a Christmas Day game as the "Squabbling Duel" is set with first place Phoenix and head coach Mike D'Antoni taking on the Lakers and P-Jax... on ABC.
