PrintThe Los Angeles Lakers snapped a four-game road losing streak with a win in Minnesota tonight. The purple and gold built up an 18-point lead midway through the third quarter, only to see the Timberwolves claw back into the game and turn it into a dog fight. Minnesota crashed the offensive glass all night and briefly took a one point lead with just over three minutes remaining on a Martell Webster three-pointer. The Lakers, who have struggled all year with late game execution, worked the offense through their big three of Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and Andrew Bynum, putting together a 12-2 run to close the game out.
The Lakers trio of stars were simply too much for the Timberwolves to handle, scoring 84 of the team's 106 points. Kobe Bryant led the way with 35 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 three-pointers, setting the franchise record for most field goals made. Gasol and Bynum contributed with 28 and 21 points respectively. Andrew Goudelock once again was the main contributor off the bench, chipping in 7 points.
The Timberwolves struggled to make shots all night. They finished shooting only 38.6% from the field, 23.8% from behind the arc, and 69.6% from the line. They were able to make a comeback because of their relentless work on the offensive glass. The Timberwolves collected 24 offensive rebounds, led by Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic who each grabbed 7, matching the total of the entire Lakers team. Ricky Rubio orchestrated the offense efficiently with 8 assists and no turnovers. The combination of offensive rebounds and fewer turnovers led to the Wolves taking 25 more field goal attempts than the Lakers. Unfortunately for the young Minnesota squad, they were unable to stop the Lakers premier talent and their losing streak against the Lakers is now 16 straight games and counting.

He has not one skill besides shooting the ball, and I doubt his little floater thing holds up
He could be a decent 6th man in the future, but right now he is just feasting off of open looks.
Duh, he's a rookie.
He did say FUTURE All Star, not current.

INTERESTING!
Am I the only one that noticed the lakers failed to record a single STEAL in this game? They played terrific defense (besides getting destroyed on the offensive boards) and have been playing good defense all year long, however the lack of forcing turnovers is somewhat concerning….
Brown doesn't want them to gamble in defense.
It puts the team scrambling when not successful.

They've never really been one to force turnovers

teams with wing speed and athleticism force turnovers
we have big guys who block shots and force long jumpers (ideally)
Maybe I'll just fade into Bolivian
Per Dex.
Here’s a problem with the Lakers’ defense: it doesn’t force turnovers. Worst in the league coming into tonight, T Wolves committed only 4.

Yep, I've noticed
we don’t bottle up teams that well to force steals, we just detract from what they want to do and force them to do what we want. Haven’t played many teams that try to go against that

right
i get what your saying, it’s just that I would like to see them get more steals, more chances for easy fast-break opportunities. It would make them more efficient, since we already know how hard they have to work for their offense already, how much of a load Kobe has had this year. Any easy baskets the lakers can get are a bonus because they are few and far between these days.
by lunchbox7337 on Jan 29, 2012 7:51 PM PST up reply actions
don't have the personnel for that buddy, fast-breaks require fast pg's
Maybe I'll just fade into Bolivian
We aren't getting any fast break baskets unless Barnes is on the floor
and even then, only on one of his better, more hustle-y games
right now as currently constructed, yes they don’t, you’re right. But Mike Brown needs to play Ebanks and Goudelock more (which he has been playing Goudelock to his credit). They’re athletic young guys who can probably do some of those things, given the opportunity. Ebanks (in my opinion) showed some pretty good things early in the season, he just doesn’t get any playing time. Barnes hustles but he doesn’t have the overall skills/athletic ability that Ebanks does (just my opinion). Play the young guys, maybe some of those things will happen. Obviously we’re not getting paid a boat-load of money to coach, so he knows more than what we do LMAO.
crap this was supposed to be a response to uncle leo, MY BAD!
by lunchbox7337 on Jan 29, 2012 8:08 PM PST up reply actions
glock maybe, but ebanks doesn't have the ball skills to run the break, he's a finisher like barnes
but no matter how many finishers you have you still need that initiator who has the vision, handles, and speed needed to run it efficiently.
Maybe I'll just fade into Bolivian
i meant ebanks as a guy who could force steals
obviously he’s not a great ball handler, that’s what you have Kobe, glock, and blake for (when he’s healthy), all those guys run the break pretty well, they need guys who can force the turnovers in order to do so. And if Gasol and Bynum would quit being so lazy and actually RUN back on offense, they could get the ball on secondary breaks as well. That’s another aspect they could get better at, they are both more athletic than most big men in the NBA, there’s absolutely no excuse why they can’t get some easy buckets that way.

honestly, we should be one of the teams that gets the most easy buckets
kobe, gasol, and bynum all demand a double team; each of them is a top 3 player at their position. After that it should just be about making the right pass to a cutter or open jump shooter then hitting the open shot, or scoring against single coverage; which should be simple if you’re of the caliber of a gasol or kobe.
The problem with this team is a lack of effort, depth, and a pg who can run the pick and roll. Kobe can do it but when he runs it there has to be another perimeter player who can hit an outside shot otherwise a help defender will leave their man to close off the lane. This happens and then the ball finds either Ron, Barnes, or Fish; none of which can hit consistently.
Maybe I'll just fade into Bolivian
yes exactly
it SHOULD be that way, and for whatever reason guys just aren’t hitting their outside shots….which is clogging the big 3’s space to operate. I mean they’re still getting their numbers, especially Kobe this year, but overall as a team they just don’t have much to work with outside of Kobe/Gasol/Bynum. Hell I probably wouldn’t even be complaining of fast-breaking if Fish/MWP/Barnes, whoever else would just knock down their open “nobody with 20 feet of them” shots.
BUT, i’ll take a good win tonight over a talented t-wolves team, and a GREAT sign that Kobe had his 3 point shot going, if he can even SOMEWHAT find his 3 pointer this year….look out!

HA!
That stat is for Michael Wilbon, the man who CONSTANTLY brings up the “20 shots” stat when it comes to Kobe! Kobe’s been doing this sh*t for 16 years, I think everybody should just stfu and watch the man play, appreciate him because he won’t be doing this forever, although he sure will try his damndest to do so.
