LAst Night's Action: Lakers Pound Grizz To Stay Undefeated

LAst Night's Action: Lakers Pound Grizz To Stay Undefeated

LA Lakers defeat Memphis Grizzlies 124-105. The Memphis Grizzlies announced a five-year $40 million dollar extension with their point guard Michael Conley earlier Tuesday afternoon. Well unfortunately Conley’s 16 points, eight rebounds and three steals really didn’t do much to help the Grizz beat the Lakers. As if the game wasn’t already over after the 34-23 first quarter, by halftime the Lakers expanded their lead to 73-46. The final 24 minutes were just a mere formality as the bench players like Steve Blake, Matt Barnes and Shannon Brown played extended minutes. Even Devin Ebanks made the bored crowd get to their feet with a great alley-oop in the fourth quarter. Alas there were no tacos for the STAPLES Center crowd, but they surely saw something. more ›

LAst Night's Action: Dodgers, Angels Sweep Towards .500

LAst Night's Action: Dodgers, Angels Sweep Towards .500

LA Dodgers defeat Colorado Rockies 7-6. Matt Kemp hit a homer in consecutive games for the first time since August 21 and 22. Fortunately for the Dodgers it was his fifth career grand slam that gave the Dodgers the 5-1 lead in the third inning. The Rockies being resilient, they had the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning down 7-5 with Ronald Belisario on the mound. But Belisario got out of the jam allowing only one run to score. The Dodgers sweep the series begging the question where this performance was when they were still in the wild card hunt back in the last weekend of August. more ›

LAst Night's Action: Lakers Get By Suns

LAst Night's Action: Lakers Get By Suns

LA Lakers defeat Phoenix Suns 102-96. After leading by seven points at the half, the Lakers extended their lead to 15 points. Treating the paint as if it were filled with landmines, the Lakers clanged jump shot after jump shot while Steve Nash then kicked it in full gear for the Suns who went on an 11-2 run to end the third period to bring the game within four. The Suns would eventually take the lead just under three minutes into the fourth quarter, but the Lakers then decided that attacking the paint might be a good idea. After not going to the charity stripe at all in the third quarter, the Lakers were awarded with ten shots at the free throw line. Two of those came via technical fouls when Suns coach Alvin Gentry went crazy when a flagrant foul was not called on Pau Gasol when he fouled Louis Amundson. Kobe Bryant had a double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds while the Suns Amare Stoudemire led all scorers with 29 points and 16 rebounds. Ron Artest got his shot going getting 15 points while Lamar Odom had four points on 2-for-8 shooting. more ›
