Lakers are Back After Break

Break time is over for the Lakers, who are preparing for an upcoming stretch of 14 games in 26 days. The Lakers play Utah tonight and it will be only their second game in eight days after their Christmas Day victory over the Boston Celtics. Upcoming home games against New Orleans, Cleveland and Orlando will test the Lakers and a mid-month trip to Houston and San Antonio will be trying as well.

Derek Fisher has been filling in for Jordan Farmar, who has begun his rehabilitation from knee surgery but isn’t expected to be back on the court until after the Feb. 15 All-Star game. During Sunday’s game against Golden State Fisher scored 19 points in only 25 minutes and he has been averaging 39 points in four games without Farmar. Sasha Vujacic also had a good game Sunday, with 17 points and six assists in 31 minutes.
