Lakers picked their defensive spots to win this game. Got to hand it to them.

4 in a row, guys.

That pick and roll between Nash and Dwight resulting to an open three by Kobe should've been the play made at the end of regulation instead of that ugly iso.

Wow we really won 4 in a row? Didn't even notice.

**King Sancho Fantastic** · 12-22-2012, 11:17 PM

14 and 8 from Jordan Hill without having a single play called for him. Great job!

The only reason it was a game was because of the Lakers atrocious D.

1 fta on 41 shots?!

**Basel** · 12-23-2012, 07:37 AM

I missed this game as I was out for the night - looks like I missed a really good one. Hell of a comeback by this team in the 4th, though - I feel like even two weeks ago, a game like that would've turned into a blowout. Kobe took 40 shots? What was his percentage? How'd Nash look? How'd Pau/Dwight look playing with him?

It is being said (don't know how legit the sources are) that Kobe jacked up so many shots because he was angry at the refs for not giving him calls. If I can find the Twitter tweet I will post it here. He got zero free throws but did take one T free throw which he missed.

He pulled his usual act...shooting us out of the game, then shooting us back in. Got a key three down the stretch. His percentage was lousy as I recall, maybe 14 for 41 or some outrageous stat, but the key is he came through on clutch shots when they were needed.

Nash looked great for the most part, and also hit a key bucket in overtime to secure the win. He didn't get as many assists as he should have because the great passes finding Lakers were not converted into points thanks to crappy shooting early on. And he had far too many careless turnovers. But for the most part he was pretty impressive.

Dwight didn't play much because he was in foul trouble much of the game. I can't comment on his contribution because there wasn't much of one, although I will say he had a pretty strong fourth quarter, even playing with 5 fouls.

Pau looked like Pau. Like soft butter. Then at other times he asserted himself. He missed a few shots that would have given Nash a higher assist total, which was discouraging. The clown just doesn't concentrate on his shots (even close in) as much as he should.

Thanks for this I missed the game as well last night one of the 1st games I have missed in the last 10 years. Great breakdown

I was shocked when I saw Kobe shot 41 times and then only got 1 free throw from the accounts of some other fans I hear he got no calls.

I know the Warriors had been winning I still don't think they are really any good still. Glad to see that Nash handled the minutes well.

**Basel** · 12-23-2012, 08:11 AM

Thanks. That's got to be Kobe's worst shooting game of the season percentage wise, no? But damn, 41 shots and 0 free throw attempts (not including the technical). How is that even possible? That must be some sort of record for most shot attempts without a single free throw attempt.

Good to see Nash was mostly impressive. I'm sure turnovers will cut down once he gets into more of a rhythm.

Is it just me or has Dwight been in foul trouble early in games quite often this season? I don't remember this being an issue in Orlando. As for Pau, I can only hope he just remains consistent at the very least. Also, props to MWP who looked like he had a big game for us based off the highlights I just saw.

**King Sancho Fantastic** · 12-23-2012, 09:57 AM

I believe it was Metta, Hill, Meeks, Morris and Dwight that sparked the comeback in the fourth I think. They locked down on D. With that said, our defense is still horrible. If we had played defense for longer than 1 qtr we would have won this game easily.

Yes, how could I forget MWP...an incredible fourth-quarter performance on both ends of the floor, and without him we would have lost by 10 (not by 20 because GS clearly didn't play as well as they should have down the stretch).

Glad to see the Lakers fighting for the 8th seeds LOL.
