Lakers Break Till Monday

Most of the Lakers are off until Monday because of the All-Star game, but that doesn’t mean that they can forget what lies ahead. A note on the grease borad inside the team’s locker room Wednesday night was a harsh reminder of the Lakers’ loss to the Utah Jazz at Energy Solutions Arenan: “30 more … 42-10 … 1 p.m. Monday.” The Lakers have 30 more games left in the regualr season, 42-10 is their record (the best in the NBA) and they reconvene for practice Monday at 1 p.m.

With the exception of All-Stars Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, most of the Lakers have four days off before they practice again. The team will play their first game of the second half of the season Tuesday night at Staples Center against the Atlanta Hawks. Lakers’ Coach Phil Jackson told the team, “Just have a good time. Enjoy, relax a little bit and get healthy. Just stay away from basketball for a couple of days.”
