P&G Game 10: vs. Houston Rockets



Head coach Mike D'Antoni delayed bench duties because of his knee replacement. However, interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff did another good job manning the squad, as he used elements of D'Antoni's offensive system to get a huge win over the Houston Rockets, 108-119.

Yay of the Game:

22-11-11: One rare triple double from Kobe Bryant, perhaps one of his most efficient games early in the season. He made half of his buckets (9-of-18), a three out of 3 attempts, and recorded 3 steals with only 3 turnovers.

Nay of the Game: 

6-12: Dwight Howard's free throws made and attempted. If the Superman is going to be fouled more often (which is evident during the game), he has to shoot more than half of his freebies, as they would count during the dying minutes of close games, which, unfortunately, this one isn't.

Play of the Game:

Here's Metta World Peace on a football pass to Pau Gasol in the final seconds of the first quarter.


The Lakers Are Now At: 

5-5 (2nd Pacific, 8th West). The Lakers are looking good as they reach the .500 mark this season. They are going to face the Brooklyn Nets next, a team who, like them, is laden with stars.
