MVP: I’ll name co-MVPs because I went back and forth on this so much. Both Jeremy Lin and Ed Davis finished with 20 points tonight, both huge nights from them. Davis added 8 rebounds and Lin added 5 assists and 3 steals.
LVP: Robert Sacre, who was one block away from recording a 10 trillion box score. If you don’t know what I mean, a “trillion” box score is when you have straight 0’s across the box score aside from minutes. It’s only a matter of time before Black takes Sacre’s minutes.
Stat of the Night: 16 fast break points, an abnormal amount for the Lakers. That was in part due to Lin and Ronnie Price (and even some Nick Young) getting into passing lanes and creating fast break opportunities.
