Lakers took the Blazers last night in an up tempo game that had me routing all four quarters. This being the second straight win for the lakers after two previous losses to two of the NBA's weaker teams, was a needed win for them. Pau Gasol had 10 points, 6 rebounds, and seven assits in his first game in nearly 3 weeks. Kobe Bryant scored his first 14 points of 36, in the fourth quarter, which may have led to the Blazers defeat. Travis Outlaw and martell Webster had 23 points each playing better offensively most of the night. As with the last three games, Roy was out via his strained right groin.
