Kobe just became the youngest player ever in the NBA to go through 26,000 points at 32 years and 80 days!

[Chris1987]

Damn! Terrible start to this 4th as a 10-2 run for Denver has it level at 95 all! GO LAKERS!!!

[BGT]

Chris, what happened? Lakers were cruising.

[BGT]

Frickin' Nuggets are 4-4!

[Chris1987]

Chris, what happened? Lakers were cruising.

Wow I'm pretty speechless BGT, unbeaten record gone but in that fashion is the thing that makes it worse Lakers were looking so good for 3 quarters, leading all the way but in that 4th Denver just went after the Lakers so hard, whereas everything the Lakers tried didn't come off and the shooting percentage just dropped alarmingly, while Denver were playing their best basketball of the game.

I knew going away to Denver was going to be a real test but just tough to play so well for 3 quarters and then see that 4th and lose the unbeaten record I guess Pheonix will just have to deal with a backlash on Sunday night now

[swish]

yeah boston!!! The big three aint so big afterall. 
Booo LA. 

It's a long season so LA will steadily pull ahead.

Seems like Kobe is trying so hard to make clear that he is the team's leader. Frankly, I wondered if he was experienced and wise enough to step back for the team's benefit, at this point of the season at least. Sixty shots in the last two games with a not very impressive percentage constitute a clear answer.

[Chris1987]

There were some fabulous games last night, Utah are just playing crazy right now giving up huge leads the last 4 road games and coming back and winning them all, just like last night once again! Celtics had to win in OT in Memphis. Miami got back to winning ways and beat Toronto.

I get the League pass so can watch all the games live every night or watch the full game on demand later in the day or week, its brilliant and a perfect quality of picture as well, so never miss a game any night

Lakers again tonight and will be looking to respond after the defeat in Denver the other night, home to Pheonix who the Lakers have already beaten once this season

[Simkim]

We should be fair enought to mention the 31 points, 31 rebounds match Kevin Love performed the other night. First 30-30 since Moses Malone in 1982. Terrific, even though it was against the Knicks.

[Chris1987]

Yeah that Kevin Love performance the other night was remarkable

[Chris1987]

Damn typical  the Pheonix had to get hotter than ever before rom 3 point range vs the Lakers and go away from LA with a 121-116 win they hit a franchise record 22 3 pointers during the game!! it was just a miracle the Lakers finished within 5 of them with the way they were shooting the ball. 2 defeats in a row now for the Lakers so really need a response away to the Bucks now Tuesday night

[BGT]

I've never heard of 22 3-pointers in one game! One player hit 7 himself! That's just insane! Oh well, we can get it back together next game.

[Chris1987]

The last unbeaten record went too last night as the Mavs took the Hornets out by 3 points in Dallas.

Utah's good run came to an end as they went back home and lost to the Thunder.

Phoenix ensured back to back wins on consecutive nights as they beat Denver at home.

Golden State edged past Detroit.

Orlando got back on track with a win over Memphis by 17.

The Nets went to LA and beat the Clipperswith some ease.

[Dallas]

My Mavs handed the Hornets their first loss of the season!

[Chris1987]

My Mavs handed the Hornets their first loss of the season!

I was watching your Mavs Dallas this morning the full game again on my NBA League Pass and that was one really good comeback they produced as the 4th went on and really good to see them end the Hornets nbeaten run. Some of the 3 pointers Kidd, Terry and Dirk were throwing down were brilliant and your Mavs are looking better and better with every passing week. I definitely hope they can crry their form on and go a long way this season

Can't wait to see my Lakers later tonight as well, really got to put in a good performance tonight and end the 2 game losing streak and get this 3 game road trip in 4 days off to a good start, away to the Bucks so a 1am wake up call for me it will be with it being a 8pm ET start time

[Chris1987]

You gotta love this cheeky play from Kobe the other night

Lakers back to winning ways at the start of the 3 game road trip with a 118-107 win over the Milwaukee Bucks Really good performance tonight from the Lakers and really it was the forcing of turnovers and the clinical response to them as the 3rd went on and 4th started that decided this game. Kobe top scored with 31 points and didn't miss a single free throw out of 11. Gasol came up with 10 rebounds but got to give a big mention to Shannon Brown. Been really impressed with his play off the bench this season and how much he's improved his 3 point shooting and that was there for all to see tonight as he threw down 21 points, hit 4 out of 5 3 pointers and had a great habit of each time Milwaukee were building a comeback of hitting a 3 pointer to holt that. Right back on it tomorrow night away at Detroit and looking to move to 10-2

Chicago @ San Antonio should be a good one. The Spurs have won 7 in a row but the Bulls are a tough team.

I agree Swish that looks like being a very good game with 2 teams playing some good basketball right now. I also like the look of Pheonix going to Miami, lets see if their 3 point shooting is enough to beat Miami. Dallas going to New Orleans is going to be a really good one as well tonight I would say.

But for me its all about the Lakers going to Detroit tonight and looking for a 2nd road win as many nights got to head back to LA after these 3road games with 3 wins with the last game coming against Minnesota on Friday night

[Chris1987]

Lakers come up with a 2nd road win in as many nights with a very straight forward win over the Detroit Pistons 103-90 to move to 10-2 4th pulled the scores much closer than it was during the 3rd but game was completely wrapped up in the 3rd quarter and all the starters were able to have a well earned break in the 4th with all of them pulled, and despite this Kobe came up with 33 points in the 3rd quarters he played, Pau came up with 25 points and 12 rebounds, Odom had 15 points and 14 rebounds and then the rest of the team and the bench had very solid figures(despite the reserve players letting slip a 26 point lead). Next up is the final road game of this little spell at the Minnesota Timberwolves

Miami beat up on Pheonix big time with a home win 123-96

Boston did the same at home to Washington 114-83

Toronto won in Philly 94-86

Dallas had led by more than 10 points at 1 stage in New Orleans but are now 10 down as the 3rd is coming to an end!

The Thunder looking good to win at home to the Rockets

Clippers and the Timberwolves are all square as the end of the 3rd nears.
