Friday night, the Spurs torched the Heat. Sunday afternoon appears likely to bring another blowout — with San Antonio on the receiving end. Through one quarter in San Antonio, it’s the Lakers up big, with a 34-13 lead on the team with the NBA’s best record.
Kobe Bryant Leads Lakers To Huge First Quarter Against Spurs
The Lakers have gotten contributions from virtually every major player so far. Seven Lakers have scored, and four of their five starters have five or more points. Andrew Bynum, the only one without that many points, has made up for it on the glass, snagging eight rebounds in the first 12 minutes.
That’s a bad, bad recipe for the Spurs, who have owned the Lakers and been excellent at home in the 2010-11 season. Tony Parker leads San Antonio with six points, but he’s the only Spur with more than one make so far, and no San Antonio player has been able to get to the foul line.
If the Lakers are looking to make a statement against one of the NBA’s reigning powers, they’re well on their way. But this “We’re not done yet!” performance certainly isn’t over yet, either.
