MVP: The one. The only. Swaggy P. Are you serious Nick Young? Aside from his absurd dagger three-pointer that turned out to be the game winner, he poured in 29 points and was 6 of 9 from deep. That’s an MVP worthy performance if I’ve ever seen one.
LVP: Ronnie Price. I mean, his 0 for 4 shooting was bad, but he managed just two assists and one steal and was all around bad tonight. Considering how Jeremy Lin played, it may not be long until he’s back on the bench.
Stat of the Night: Bench scoring. The Lakers got 61 points from their bench. Anytime you get that kind of production, you should win ball games. Much credit to Lin, who was aggressive all night long.
