The Los Angeles Lakers return to L.A after their 6-game road trip. Last night's win, a 94-92 contest, bumped the Lakers to 3-3 on the trip. After the game, Coach Brown was asked about the .500 Grammy trip:
We would have liked to have more wins on this road trip but to go 3-3 is not bad from the standpoint that I told our guys that they have to remember that this season is not a sprint, this is a marathon. We have just got to keep getting better little by little and again, whether we won or lost I thought we got a little better tonight.
Kobe commented on his thoughts about the team thus far:
We are a poor road team and that is what we need to turn around. If we could figure out how to way to win on the road our record would be much, much better. We are a very good home team.
Elsewhere, reports surfaced that the Lakers had observed a workout from Gilbert Arenas. More on thoughts and news on this as the story develops, for now, enjoy the rest of the links. Happy Monday, folks.
