Lakers Obliterate Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs smashed the Miami Heat by 30 points on Friday night. On Sunday night, the Spurs were the ones getting smashed. After leading by as many as 32 points, the Lakers snapped San Antonio’s 22-game home winning streak with a 99-83 victory.

The final score doesn’t tell the story of how much the Lakers killed the Spurs. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers were up 34-13. Their lead at halftime was 65-37. Despite the impressive showing, Kobe Bryant didn’t think it meant anything in the big picture.

Said Kobe: “I don’t think it’s that big of a message that we sent today.”

“We know we’re capable of having games like this and San Antonio knows we’re capable of having games like this. It just as easily could go the other way around,” Kobe continued.

Kobe led the way for the Lakers with 26 points. Pau Gasol added 21 points, six rebounds and five assists. That said, the best player on the court for the Lakers might have been Andrew Bynum, who pulled down 17 rebounds and blocked three shots in 27 minutes of action.
