Game Recap

All good things must come to an end, and thus the Lakers 10 game winning streak is over. The Mavericks game into Staples Center on Sunday afternoon and steamrolled the Lakers, the final score of 114-100 not fully capturing what took place. We’ve said this several times in the past two-plus weeks (including in our […]

First off, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! Here at FB&G we have a lot to be thankful for, family, friends, lumpia, and the Lakers beating the Pelicans 114-110 to win their 9th straight game and improve their league best record to 16-2. I’m going to keep this post short, mostly because I’m in between […]

The Lakers beat the Spurs on Monday, 114-104. It was the team’s 8th straight win and it upped their league best record to 15-2. This team continues to string together victories, even if it doesn’t always look like it should. That last part is both wonderful and frustrating; in the world of process vs. results, […]

There a couple of different ways to look at the Lakers 109-108 win over the Grizzlies on Saturday night. The first is that after playing on Friday night in a pretty physical and taxing game that came down to the wire, the Lakers found a way to beat a well rested Grizzlies team in their […]

For the second time in a week the Lakers have beaten the Thunder, this time a 130-127 victory in OKC. Like the last time these two teams played, this was a grind it out game that saw the Lakers hold on late. How the teams got there, though, was different than Tuesday’s game in Los […]

Five. That’s how many games the Lakers have won in a row after dispatching the Thunder 112-107 in a hotly contested game. Twelve of thirteen. That’s the number of games the Lakers have won since their opening night loss to the Clippers. This team is playing well enough to win and not well enough to […]

The Lakers continue to win games, this time beating the Hawks 122-101 on Sunday night. This was the Lakers 4th straight win overall and their 11th in 12 games. They now sit at 11-2 on the season, have the western conference’s best record, the league’s 9th ranked offense, the top ranked defense, and the best […]

The Lakers moved to 10-2 on the season with a 99-97 win over the Kings on Friday night. As the score would imply, the game was hotly contested and the Lakers could have just as easily lost this game — and probably should have — as they could have come out on top. That they […]

The Lakers beat the Warriors 120-94 in a game that played almost exactly as the final score would indicate. I wish there was more to say about this one than that, but there’s really not. The Lakers are simply better than the over matched, injury ravaged Warriors and diving too deep into this one isn’t […]

What a game. On a night the Lakers defense was not in top form and one where the Suns made them pay for it with high level offensive execution and shot making, the Lakers were again able to muster up enough plays to win the game late and set the Suns 123-115 to move to […]
