We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers concluded their 3-game East Coast road trip with a Friday night loss against their longtime rivals, the Boston Celtics. The game ended 113-96:
“The Lakers were behind all night at the TD Garden, as their defense was once again the culprit. They trailed by as much as 16 in the 1st quarter. A series of runs kept the Lakers within striking distance, only trailing by 5 at the end of the first half, 53-48. The Celtics took it up a notch and started to pull away in the 3rd quarter, outscoring the Lakers 33-22.
Kobe Bryant inched closer in surpassing Michael Jordan on the All-Time Scoring list (77 points away) with his 22 points on 9-21 shooting.
The Lakers shot 41% from the field and under 38% from beyond the arc. Nick Young led the Lakers bench once again with 16 points on 5-14 shooting while Jeremy Lin broke out of his scoreless performance against the Wizards, scoring 14 points. Jordan Hill had a perfect night, shooting 6-6 from the field with 13 points, but it was not enough to give the Lakers the win.”
