It was an emotional night for the Lakers organization, still mourning the loss of their Hall of Fame owner who passed away earlier in the week, Dr. Jerry Buss. It couldn't have been any more fitting that their next opponent would be none other than the hated Boston Celtics. Regardless of a tumultuous season thus far, the Lakers were not going to lose this game.
They were doing it for Jerry.
The Lakers won, and won big, 113-99 at home. The controlled the game throughout with a balanced attack offensively and communicating defensively. I was only able to catch the 4th quarter, so here's Dancing Barry's review:
DancingBarry's Thoughts and Smiley Ratings
I'm proud of the team for their effort in this game.
The Lakers have won 9 of their last 13 games and they're finally starting to play consistently. They currently reside in 9th place 3.5 games behind Houston. Every win counts, but tonight they'll play the Portland Trail Blazers who are only 0.5 games behind the Lakers. Gotta get this one.
Go Lake Show!!! Rest in peace Dr. Buss!!!
