Los Angeles Lakers. KOBE BRYANT. B+. <strong> 40 min, 10-28 FG, 1-7 3P, 8-10 FT, 29 PTS, 5 REB, 7 AST, 1 STL, 0 BLK, 3 TO</strong> <p>First half <strong><a href=. SG
B+. <strong> 35 min, 7-12 FG, 2-2 FT, 16 PTS, 10 REB, 1 AST, 1 STL, 1 BLK, 1TO</strong> <p>Luckily for the Lakers, Hill has found a level of consistency.

The problem is, his first half wasn’t as good and his second half was worse.</p>. PF. Los Angeles Lakers. CARLOS BOOZER
Los Angeles Lakers. WESLEY JOHNSON. B-. <strong> 36 min, 2-6 FG, 0-2 3P, 5-5 FT, 9 PTS, 3 REB, 2 AST, 2 STL, 0 BLK, 0 TO</strong> <p>For about 34 minutes tonight, Johnson was on his way to a subpar outing. Then he stripped <strong><a href=. SF
