Lakers punish Golden State 101-77

It's nice seeing a big smile on Kobe's face for a change. Last night the Lakers pulled together through all the drama  and blew up on the court. The game ended at 101-77 but it felt like we were up by 40 they way LA was playing. MWP got in the double digits. Pau Gasol put up 14.  Howard only made 6 points last night ( slowing it down maybe because of back issues?) but played a great game defensively regardless. Kobe Bryan played 32 minuets last night with 27 points and 7 assists. A tremendous game from Kobe, but thats nothing new. What will shock you  
is the Lakers bench! Morris who never seemed to really look like a Lakers had 10 points on the night. Jordan Hill made it look easy grabbing 14. With Meeks and Jaimeson adding 13 for the bench together, that made the Lakers bench feel deeper then it has been in a long time.

I knew we had the game in the bag last night when Gasol took a 3. Nobody thought he would go for it but he did. Guess he figured "why not?". Pau missed the show but it was fun to watch nevertheless 

Great win for the Lakers, and positive looks now coming from the bench just might be the momentum swing we need for Sundays game
