The Lakers Domination Continues!


The New Orleans Hornets have shown that they are a legit team in the Western Conference this season lead by one of the best point guards in the NBA, Chris Paul, but the Lakers made them look like a D-League team on Wednesday beating the the Hornets by 29 points in New Orleans.

Yet another awesome team effort by the Lakers! The purple and gold played textbook team basketball by passing the ball well and taking smart shots all night long. This time it was Kobe Bryant leading the way with 19 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. All eleven of the Lakers that took the floor Wednesday put points on the board, five of which scored in double figures (Odom, Bynum, Ariza, Walton, Kobe).

Andrew Bynum had another solid game going up against the league's leading offensive rebounder Tyson Chandler, scoring 17 points on 8 of 10 shooting and grabbing 9 rebounds. Chris Paul was the only real bright spot for the Hornets, at least on the offensive end, scoring 32 points, but it wasn't enough to even get the game close for New Orleans.

The Hornets shot a God awful 9% (1 for 11) behind the arc and 36% from the floor, the Lakers shot an impressive 55% (actually 54.9%) from the floor and 43% (actually 42.9%) from three point land against the Hornets as they continue to dominate any team that gets in the way.

LOOKING GOOD BOYS!
