The Lakers really sucked yesterday as the Cavaliers punished them. The Lakers only shot 36.5% from the floor and the Cavs shot 54.3% which explains the loss. The key bricklayer for the Lakers yesterday was Kobe Bryant who shot 11 of 32 from the floor as he finished up with 35 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals. Ron Artest had 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists but he had problems dealing with LeBron James on D. Pau Gasol also had a rough game shooting 4 of 11 from the floor finishing with 11 points and 6 rebounds. The Lakers are now 23-5 on the year.
