Series Tied 1-1

That's it, Bynum scored his entire allotment of Playoff points in one game, he's done!

Kobe poured in 11 points but his lock down defense helped hold Chris Paul to 20 points - only 4 above his season average. The tight Lakers defense also forced CP into a turnover, while limiting him to only 9 assists. It looks like the Lakers are peaking at just the right time.

Duplicate post.

LOL - what a HOOT, oops, sorry about that :Thumbs:

^ too funny :Thumbs:

Good win for the Lakers.
Pau and Kobe played poorly but everyone else stepped their game up.

The Hornets are a very talented offensive team.
Holding them to 78 points is an accomplishment.

The Lakers should play this way every game... Just throw it to the post, they're much bigger then every team in the league... They need to forget about Kobe and just let the big boys run the team.... Kobe hurts this team.... I know everyone always likes Kobe's 10 shots a game that he makes, but he shoots way to much..... And in game 2 -- Phil wasnt going to let Kobe get them beat. Kobe set on the bench when the Lakers took their led.... Also Kobe didn't guard Chris Paul long because Paul was breaking him off in the 1st quarter.....

If Bynum can play like this consistently throughout the playoffs...the Lakers will be in business

Bynum can't tie his show consistently.

Did I understand correctly that Paul has 20 points and 9 assists, and he was defended well? Sounds like he is unstoppable!
