Lakers Back At .500 After Blazers Rout

12/25/12 vs. New York 94-100 [W] < Missed due to spending time with family during Christmas
12/26/12 @ Denver 114-126 [L] < Missed due to illness

A day when the Lakers retired #52 in honor of Jamaal Wilkes, they end the year on a high note with a win against the Blazers in a beating of 87-104 at Staples putting them back at .500. Playing to reach the .500 mark is always a dangerous game. Kobe Bryant lead the Lakers with 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists and added 2 steals while Dwight Howard recorded 21 points and 14 rebounds with 3 blocks. Pau Gasol seems to be finding his rhythm in Mike D'Antoni's offense recording 15 points including 2-3 shooting from behind the 3 point line.

Final Score: vs. Portland 87-104 [W]
