Lakers Triumphant With Nash's Return in Thriller

Probably one of the most entertaining games I've seen from the geographical rival between L.A. and The Bay. Steve Nash, first game back since suffering a fractured fibula, scored 12 points and racked up 9 assists including a couple of big buckets while playing 40+ mins as he was a huge difference maker in the Lakers thrilling 118-115 victory over the Warriors. Kobe Bryant was the Lakers' top performer with 31 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists, but in the process, took 41 shots. Dwight Howard added 11 points and big contribution from the bench. MWP gives the Lakers a huge game changer off the bench scoring 20 points while Jodie Meeks and Jordan Hill followed suit with 12 points from Meeks and 14 points and 8 rebounds from Hill.

Final Score: @ Golden State 118-115 (OT) [W]
