Lakers Limp Out of Cleveland With Win

Talk about the Lakers put in a handicap match against the Cavs with a full 10 man rotation. Pau Gasol, out, Jordan Hill, last minute out, Jodie Meeks out, Steve Nash, not playing, Nick Young, left the game with a knee injury, Jordan Farmar, left the game in the middle of the 4th with leg/calf cramps, Chris Kaman, fouled out, Robert Sacre, fouled out, but still played because the Lakers were a player short already, and yet they still do the improbable in the midst of a wasted season. Steve Blake was the team's top performer this game recording a triple-double with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 15 assists to help the Lakers pull off an improbable win in Cleveland 119-108 despite all the injuries. Ryan Kelly had his 2nd breakout game as a Laker scoring 26 points on 8-16 shooting. Wesley Johnson is starting to play a little better as he recorded yet a second near double-double with 20 points and 9 rebounds and Kendall Marshall came off the bench with 12 points and 7 assists. Jordan Farmar finished with 21 points and 8 assists on 5-8 shooting and Robert Sacre and Chris Kaman, who both fouled out finished with a combined 23 points with 10 points from Sacre and 13 points from Kaman off the bench.

Final Score: @ Cleveland 119-108 [W]
