After that awful loss against the Indiana Pacers highlighted by a lot of missed free throws, a sick Kobe Bryant scoring 40, and a George Hill layup, the Lakers broke even and once again reached .500 as they trounced upon the Denver Nuggets, 122-103.
Yay of the Game:
17-33: the total number of threepointers the Lakers made and attempted. Reserve G Jodie Meeks led the assault from beyond the ark, making 7 of 9 markers, and together with Antawn Jamison, scored 54 points overall (Jamison scored 33 of those, making him the only bench reserve to get at least 30 points since Shaquille O'Neal did it in the late '90s). The Lakers have played well all over, making 33 of their 47 shots off assists, with the Mamba himself having 8 of those precious dimes.
Nay of the Game:
3-1-3: Darius Morris' points, rebounds, and assists. Morris has been the starting one since the Steves were out, but he was largely inconsistent during that stretch. Could he finally be dethroned by veteran guard Chris Duhon, who got 5 points and 8 assists this game?
Play of the Game:
Last year, Andrew Bynum failed to hit a three-pointer. But early this season, Dwight Howard hit his own.
The Lakers Are Now At:
8-8 (3rd Pacific, 7th West). The Purple & Gold will have to face the Orlando Magic next. Will Dwight Howard show his team that he has since moved on?
