Lakers Fall in Miami

The Lakers cap off their Grammy road trip with a 4-3 record and end it with a loss in Miami. It was definitely a tale of two halves as the Lakers were putting up a good fight against the Heat, slowing down the pace in the first half, but the Heat turned up the jets in the second half and pulled away 97-107. Kobe Bryant lead the Lakers with 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 9 assists, but it wasn't enough to stop the speed and athleticism of the defending champs lead by Wade and LeBron yet again like the last meeting. Earl Clark had a near double-double with 18 points and 9 rebounds, continuing his great play while Steve Nash and Dwight Howard both tallied 15 points with Howard grabbing 9 boards.

Final Score: @ Miami 97-107 [L]
