LAKERS vs HEAT (POST-GAME REPORT)

LAKERS 108 - HEAT 105

"Damn, no free tacos, but I'll take the win." said Ant(a friend of ours). Yes Ant, we shall and will take that win. The Lakers take the win from Miami in this game that came all the way down to the wire. It wasn't too pretty but yes we'll take it.

Like I've said before, it's great that this Laker team is deep. When our stars' shooting is a tad below the norm, there's others on this Laker team that WILL step up. In this game, it was the big man, Mr. A-Train Bynum himself who managed to get himself 24pts and 6rebs, and was the man who pretty much clinched the win for us on the put-back off of Kobe's missed shot. I knew he would take care of business. VladRad also had himself a game with 18pts on 6 of 10 shooting.

Though Kobe had a bit fewer points than were used to, he still managed 19pts while dishing out 7 asts(which I thought he was doing way too much in the 1st half). And even with a combined 9-28 for Pau and Fish, they both pulled double-doubles with 14pts, 18rebs(yes, 18rebs) for Pau, and 13pts, and 11asts for D-Fish.

The Lakers were able to keep Wade from scoring a bit less than 35, but that man still conjured 27pts and 9asts. Beasley was hot shooting that mid range and added 23pts to his Heat scoreboard. But other than those two, I honestly didn't care or worry about those other Heat players, even Marion.

It was again a mixture of some players stepping up, and our rebounds, and chances at the line that helped up with this win. But the Lakers need to start playing a more cleaner game, with less turnovers. Up next is the boys in Texas, where the guys from NASA report their problems to. Yes, Houston my friends, Houston.
