This is the game that all Lakers and Hornets fans have been waiting for. Both teams are currently battling for the top spot in the Western Conference and we will see how both fare tonight when they meet at the Staples Center. New Orleans are currently about 1 1/2 games ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers. If the Hornets win they can clinch a home court advantage throughout the playoffs. If the Lakers win tonight and the suns lose at Houston, Los Angeles would clinch its first Pacific Division crown since the 2003-2004 campaign.
Los Angeles is coming off a win from the Clippers last night where they won 106-78 and Kobe Bryant once again emerged as the shining star when he added 16 points for the Lakers and they finished with a flawless 4-0 against the Los Angeles Clippers this season. They are also relying on other star athletes like Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol. New Orleans will rely on their key players like David West, Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler.
