Lakers Close Out the Right Way vs. Nets

Thought I posted up results of this game already. Re-checked my blog, turns out I didn't. The Lakers have won 3 straight road games after losing their opening Grammy road game vs. the Suns. Kobe Bryant, put on a spectacle at the Barclay's Center as he lead the Lakers with 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists to go with 4 steals and a blast from the past afro Kobe dunk over Gerald Wallace and Kris Humphries in the 4th as the Lakers close out the Nets on a 10-0 run to get the win 92-83. A little bad news on the side as Pau Gasol finished with 15 points, but suffered an ankle injury that could lead him to miss 4-6 weeks. Meanwhile, Earl Clark continues to be a diamond in the rough for the Lakers as he scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to go along with a few clutch shots in the 4th and Steve Nash finished with 17 points to go with 8 assists. Celtics-Lakers, doesn't get any better than that matchup. The Lakers head to Boston to meet their Eastern Conference nemesis as the Celtics have won 5 straight games since Rondo went down (they just won against Toronto tonight), but history is on the Lakers' side as they have won 4 straight games at the TD Garden dating back to the 08-09 season.

Final Score: @ Brooklyn 92-83 [W]
