Game Grades: Sans Kobe, Lakers crash back to earth vs. Bulls
By Jacob Rude
MVP: Ed Davis, who notched his first career double-double in a Lakers uniform with 13 points and 14 rebounds as well as 3 blocks and helped keep the Lakersin the game early on thanks to his rebounding.
LVP: Nick Young. Where are you, Swaggy P? Did your new car distract you from catching the flight to Chicago? 3 points on 1-6 shooting is not going to cut it when the Lakers don’t have Bryant.
Stat of the Night: 57-39. The rebounding battle tonight. The Lakers kept it close in the first half, but in the end, were obliterated on the boards.
