Losing Streak

The Lakers have been on a losing streak lately. The Lakers have not been playing very well and hopefully will start playing better since the playoffs start on Sunday. On Wednesday, they played the struggling the Golden Gate Warriors. This game the Lakers look like a highschool basketball team. They ended up losing 97-85. Kobe Bryant really struggled this game and couldn't get the Lakers on a role to get the win. The loss brings the Lakers record to a 55-23.

Friday the Lakers traveled to Portland to take on the struggling Trailblazers. Yet again the Lakers looked very sluggish and did not play good at all. Kobe came out looking like the old Kobe, but it wasn't enough to get the win. Kobe had 23 points. Kobe recently got a $100,000 fine, for making a homophobic comment.

Still Rolling

Last week the Lakers kept there winning streak going and never looked back. On Thursday, they played the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers had no trouble taking care of the Mavs. Kobe lead the Lakers with 28 points. Even tho Kobe isn't in the race for the leagues MVP, he still is one of the best in the league. This win brings the Lakers record to a 54-20 winning record. With the win the extended the winning streak to an 8 game streak.

Lakers were determined that they were going to keeping winning and build some swagger up for the playoffs. The Lakers traveled to Utah to take on the Jazz. This was one of the few games this season that Kobe hasn't lead both teams in points. But still the ended up getting the win, winning it 96-85. This 9 game winning streak for the Lakers is starting to give them some swag, which teams don't look forward to playing the team with the Cali Swag.
