Lakers Fall to Blazers

Kobe resting, back-to-back set of games, no surprise here despite the fact that it was a highly contested battle. Jordan Hill got out of the inefficient funk yesterday as he was the Lakers' top performer with 23 points and 14 rebounds, but the Lakers couldn't preserve a victory as Damian Lillard's 39 points outburst helped the Blazers rally to beat the Lakers 94-98. Wayne Ellington added 13 points in place of Kobe Bryant and Ronnie Price added 11 points to round out the starters. On the bench, Jeremy Lin lead all scorers with 14 points while Nick Young struggled all game long managing just 11 points.

Final Score: @ Portland 94-98 [L]
