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.
Here is an excerpt from the recap of last night’s game:
“The Knicks entered tonight in the middle of a five game losing streak and was able to snap it against a struggling Lakers team. Derek Fisher made his return to Staples Center for the first time as a coach and was able to walk away with a victory in the building he has so many fond memories in.
The Lakers were coming off a win of their own but struggled with turnovers and defending the three point line. For the Knicks Hardaway’s 22 points including 5 three pointers was a huge help for an offense that has struggled thus far this season. Hardaway hit as many three by himself as the entire Laker team.
Andrea Bargnani added 16 points for the Knicks, and Alexey Shved had a solid all around game with 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists. “

This season has been a disappointing year, but some players are taking advantage of the time given to them:
“A surprisingly pair of Laker guards, Jeremy Lin and Jordan Clarkson, are taking the challenge of leading the Lakers during the stretch of the season.
Byron Scott has been able to have both guards lead the starters and bench. In games, Jeremy Lin’s confidence was shown during the season. During the post all-star break, Jeremy Lin has averaged 14.3 points per-game, team-high in assists (5.5) and steals (1.6), during a 10-game stretch. Scott has been able to get his guards in the pick and roll offense. Jeremy Lin had tremendous success with the pick and roll offense in New York, known as the Lin-Sanity period. Jeremy has been able to teach Clarkson on how to read the defense similar to the elite point guards.
Jordan Clarkson has been given the reins to lead this Laker team during the Post-All Star period. Clarkson and Wayne Ellington are the only players to start every game after the All-Star break. ”
