Game Grades: Lakers Tank Rolls On Post All-Star Break

MVP: Prepare yourselves Lakers fans. Tonight’s MVP is….Jeremy Lin! See, I don’t hate Lin! Or I’m just a flip-flopper. Or something. But regardless, his 18 points off the bench were at critical times and he was a big part of the fourth-quarter comeback.

LVP: Wayne Ellington is tonight’s LVP with his 3-10 performance, but going just 0-7 from beyond the arc. Ellington might be due for this down game considering how well he’d been playing, but he barely edges out Nick Young for tonight’s dubious honors.

Stat of the Night: There’s two stats you could go with on this one. Either 4-23, being the Lakers three-point shooting, or 19-29, being the Lakers free throw shooting. Neither was particularly good and, in a game that they closed the deficit to single digits late, both had negative impacts on the Lakers’ chances of winning.
