Lakers @ Warriors – Box Score 11.01.14
Lakers Finally Win One…Throttle Pistons 108-79
11.04.12
Dwight Howard gets fouled going to the basket.
The By The Numbers recap for the Lakers 108-79 win over the Detroit Pistons at Staples Center on Sunday. The Lakers are now 1-3, and play next at Utah on Wednesday night.
108
The amount of points the Lakers scored on Sunday night, their best offensive output of the season thus far. They also shot 51.9% from the floor and are shooting 50.3% through the first four games.
81
The amount of points the Lakers starters scored against the Pistons, with four of the five in double-figures, led by Dwight Howard’s 28 points on 12-14 from the field.
46
The percentage of threes the Lakers made Sunday, hitting 10-22 from beyond the arc. So far this season, the Lakers shooting from the 3-point line has been impressive at 40.6%, with Steve Blake leading the way hitting 5-8 for 62.5%.
35
The percentage that Detroit hit from the floor, making just 28-79 shots. Think about this…Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol, and Metta World Peace made 25 baskets by themselves.
32
The amount of minutes Kobe Bryant played Sunday, which makes all Laker fans happy. Kobe played 43 minutes Friday against the Clippers, and with a strained foot he doesn’t need to be logging so many minutes this early in the season. He got much needed time off against Detroit, only needing to take 10 shots as well.
28
The Lakers led at halftime on Sunday 62-34, which was easily their best performance in any half this season. They didn’t let up much in the second half, as they increased the lead to 36 at one point, before winning by 29.
15
The amount of turnovers committed by the Lakers Sunday. Might not seem like a big deal, but when a team commits 59 turnovers in their first three games, 15 sounds a lot better. Also keep in mind, many of those 15 came in garbage time with the game out of hand. The Lakers did protect the ball relatively well all night.

The Lakers’ current winning streak. Hey, have to start somewhere!
See you guys Wednesday after the Utah game.

Ugly Start
12.27.11
Usually I’ll write some recaps of the games as the season progresses, but after the first two games of the 2011-12 season, there’s really not much positive to say for the Lakers. Hence I haven’t felt like writing all that much. Of course box scores and stats have been updated as they always will be, although that has been a chore too after losses.
There’s really not much to say so far. The Lakers blew Christmas Day’s game against Bulls with some inexplicable decision-making down the stretch, as well as four costly missed free throws. They couldn’t have helped the Bulls more unless they put the ball in the basket for them.
Monday’s game in Sacramento wasn’t much better. The Lakers never found any rhythm, and when they finally got to within two in the fourth quarter at 89-87, they allowed Marcus Thornton a wide-open three-pointer and that was pretty much that.
Two really ugly losses for different reasons. Hopefully tonight against Utah will finally allow the Lakers to right the ship, but right now it’s difficult to know what team will show up. Hoping this is just an early season bump in the road with the short training camp, new players, and new coaching staff.
Trying to stay positive!
