The Charlotte Bobcats Outshine the Lakers

Everyone seemed to be so sure that this would be a guaranteed win for the Los Angeles Lakers.  But the Bobcats trampled the Lakers 108-95.  The Bobcats were coming off of a 128-106 loss at Utah on Tuesday night and immediately established themselves as the better team in taking 57-44 halftime lead.  Kobe Bryant, the Lakers’ star player drew two technical fouls in a small span of 29 seconds in the fourth quarter and was ejected from the game.  This most recent loss dropped the Lakers into a three way tie for scond place in the Western Conference with Houston and San Antonio.  They currently trail the New Orleans Hornets by one game.

The Los Angeles Lakers could have used another one of their star players, Pau Gasol, who missed his seventh straight game with a sprained left ankle.  He hopes to return by next Wednesday.  Lakers coach Phil Jackson was quoted on the AP as saying, “I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not until Wednesday that he plays again.  We’re hopeful it’s Sunday.  We’ll have to let time take its course.”  Don’t miss out on your opportunity to see this dynamic team, with all of its talented players, with your pair of Los Angeles Lakers tickets.
