Miami Heat defeat LA Lakers 114-111 (OT). The Lakers didn’t start their tough three game East Coast road trip on a winning note. The Lakers and the Heat played a close game with 19 ties and 31 lead changes, the most in the NBA this season. Neither team led by more than five points. Although Kobe Bryant made a jumper with three seconds left in regulation to tie the game up, there would be no heroics from Kobe for the winner in this meeting. Kobe led all scorers with 39 points seemingly working out all the kinks from his recent shooting woes. All Lakers starters scored in double digits with Lamar Odom adding 13 points and 11 rebounds off the bench. more ›

Maybe they knew that they would finish second-to-last that year, so they figured they it'd be more constructive to work on their choreography. Maybe they knew that in two years they'd have to toughen up, so they were getting all the musical theater out of their system.

Maybe it was their collective love of tight, white pants. more ›
