In addition, the Lakers seemingly have settled on their bench rotation with Matt Barnes and Steve Blake anchoring the second unit.
The Masked Mamba is waiting in the shadows. Ready to strike at a moment's notice. A man of few words, he let his henchmen do the talking:
"We'll do what we need to do to get a win," Derek Fisher said after he had six points and a team-leading seven assists against the Kings. "That's always the sweetest revenge. ... For us, it's a big game because of where we are as a team right now.
Much more after the jump...
