The Lakers continue to slowly build with temporary coach Bernie Bickerstaff orchestrating the team. Dwight Howard continues to make his name in LA as he lead the Lakers with 23 points, 18 rebounds, and 3 assists as the Lakers beat the Kings 90-103. Kobe Bryant chipped in 20 points and Pau Gasol and MWP both had 18 points joining Kobe and Dwight as the only players in double figures for the Lakers.
Final Score: vs. Sacramento 90-103

Next Game: vs. San Antonio (11/13/12)
Replace a Mike with another Mike. The Lakers have hired Mike D'Antoni to replace the fired Mike Brown as the team's head coach for the rest of the 2012-2013 season. Obviously the move has us Lakers fans dismayed, clamoring for the return of the Zen Master, Phil Jackson. D'Antoni has some experiences with Lakers players, particularly Steve Nash, in which both lead the Phoenix Suns to perennial playoff berths and division titles and as an assistant coach of the 2008 Men's Basketball Olympic team with Kobe and Dwight. Under D'Antoni, the Lakers will run a traditional run and gun, pick and roll offense, but the question is how will the defensive side fare since most teams under D'Antoni on defense has been atrocious?
