LAst Night's Action: Lakers Respond To Not-So-Golden Statement

Lakers 123, Warriors 113 - We're still pretty sure this is a .500 team masquerading with an occasional good run, and now even their Phil Jackson is down on Kobe and Co. The Laker's coach told the media that a 50-win season is out of reach. His squad, however, responded by out-scoring the nation's hottest team on Sunday night. Kobe Bryant led the way with 28 and both Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum hit double digits in rebounds ... The Lakers are on a three game winning streak ... Forbes ranked the Lakers as the NBA's second most valuable team, again.

Heat 100, Clippers 94 - Down go the Clippers. Again. They've lost 8-of-9. Dwayne Wade dominated in the latest loss with 35 points and 10 assists. Shaq added 8 with 8 rebounds.

Elsewhere - Who said the NFL was the No Fun League? Oh yeah, the referees ... Looks like the CFL isn't much better, but it is hilarious ... Donald Trump is invading Scotland.

Today's Action - Ducks @ Columbus (4:00pm) ... Vancouver @ Kings (7:30pm).
