Lakers Fall To Spurs Late

The Mike D'Antoni era hasn't started yet as Bernie Bickerstaff's brief stint as interim coach ends on a sour note. Kobe Bryant lead the Lakers with 28 points, 4 rebounds, and 8 assists on 12-19 shooting, but couldn't get the ball in his hands for the final shot as the Lakers fall to the San Antonio Spurs 84-82 on a Danny Green go ahead 3 pointer and a forced Pau Gasol 3 pointer that missed. Gasol as mentioned, didn't play well until the 4th tallied 10 points and 10 rebounds, Dwight Howard added 13 points and 15 rebounds, and MWP, still not consistent, tallied 12 points, but missed a crucial 3 pointer that would've given the Lakers a lift from a very close game against a perennial western conference rival.

Final Score: vs. San Antonio 84-82 [L]
