The Los Angeles Lakers were defeated by the Golden State Warriors 115-111. Thanks to the star player of the evening Stephen Jackson, the Warriors proved their worth on the court when he scored six of his 31 points on two three pointers in the final 38 1/2 seconds. The Warriors hadn’t beaten the Lakers in Los Angeles since they won 114-110 on January 22, 2003. Kobe Bryant tried his best to match those efforts put forth by Jackson by making two 3 pointers in the last 56.4 seconds, but he could not rise to the occasion and the end result was the defeat of the prominent Lakers.
The win turned out to be the second straight win for the Warriors over the Los Angeles Lakers after recovering from a nine game losing streak to their in-state rivals. Golden State won despite being out rebounded 60-43. The Lakers are trying to retain their top spot in the division and unfortunately this was quite a setback for Bryant and his star team. However, there is no time to dwindle on losses, it is time to look forward and try and wrestle some more wins in the weeks to come.
