Lakers 114, Phoenix 106
What a niiiice start to the 2006/2007 NBA season for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Even with KB24 on the bench along with Kwame Brown and Chris Mihm.
Even with Phoenix scoring 41 points in the first quarter on the way to a Lakers deficit of 19 points at that time.
However, 'D', as in defense, always wins. And a jump-shooting team cam only be relegated to the stands during the NBA finals.
Memo to Phoenix: Feel free to mix in some defense, and post play!
