Warriors-Lakers Preview

With two 15-point losses in their last three games, the Los Angeles Lakers could use an easy time to finish off a stretch of four games in five nights. A home game against Golden State would seem like an ideal matchup for the defending NBA champs to get back on track, but the Warriors suddenly don't look like pushovers.

Los Angeles looks to avoid back-to-back home losses for the first time since the end of the 2007-08 season Tuesday night when it faces a Golden State team seeking its third straight upset of a playoff contender.

Los Angeles (24-6) will take the court at Staples Center for the first time since its 11-game home winning streak was snapped, 102-87 to Cleveland on Christmas Day. The Lakers, who haven't lost two straight at home since a three-game slide March 23-28, 2008, have won six straight meetings with the Warriors overall, and 27 of the last 30 matchups between the teams in Los Angeles.

The Western Conference-leading Lakers return home from a 1-1 trip that easily could have been 0-2 if it weren't for Kobe Bryant's two clutch 3-pointers in the second overtime of Saturday's 112-103 victory in Sacramento.

Los Angeles shot 43.5 percent and trailed by as many as 22 points in the fourth quarter of a 118-103 loss at Phoenix on Monday. The Lakers needed six unanswered points in the final 1:12 to avoid their most lopsided loss of the season.

"I wasn't comfortable with my starters or my bench,'' said coach Phil Jackson, whose reserves were outscored 52-31 by the Suns' bench.

Making his second straight start for the injured Ron Artest, Lamar Odom had nine points and 13 rebounds. The Lakers, though, miss Artest's energy on both ends of the floor.

"It's a big adjustment because we're a team that thrives on chemistry,'' said Bryant, averaging 36.8 points in his last four games.

Artest could return Tuesday after suffering a concussion and injuring his left elbow in a fall at his home on Christmas night.

Artest had 19 points and six other Lakers scored in double figures in a 130-97 victory over the Warriors in Oakland on Nov. 28. That win stands as Los Angeles' highest scoring output of the season.

While the Lakers look to improve upon their 16-3 home mark, Golden State (9-21) will try to snap a five-game road losing streak.

The Warriors rallied from an 18-point first-quarter deficit at home Monday and beat Boston 103-99. Golden State, which defeated Phoenix on Saturday, hasn't won three in a row since April 1-5.

"It was a wonderful game for us,'' Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "Wins are hard to find anyway, especially against two quality teams in a row."

Monta Ellis looks to continue his red-hot shooting after going 15 of 26 against the Celtics and finishing with 37 points. The point guard is averaging 32.2 points and shooting 53.4 percent over his last six games.

Ellis, who will try to score 30 or more points in four straight games for the first time in his career, had 27 as the Warriors lost 114-106 on March 19 in their visit to the Lakers. He led Golden State with 18 points in last month's defeat to Los Angeles.

Andris Biedrins has missed the Warriors' last three games versus the Lakers due to injury. The center played Monday for the first time since Nov. 8 due to inflammation in his right groin, but failed to score. He had four rebounds.

Kobe pours in 44 as Lakers win shootout with Warriors

By Bryan Chu, for NBA.com
Posted Wednesday December 30, 2009 2:56AM

LOS ANGELES (NBA.com exclusive) -- All has not been well for the Lakers this past week.

Coming into Tuesday, the defending champs had dropped two of their last three, Ron Artest missed time with a concussion, and the team admitted to not playing their best ball.

But, the Lakers managed to pull it together late in the game Tuesday night despite playing their fourth game in five days.

Behind timely defense and hitting opportune shots in the final minutes, the Lakers edged out the Warriors in a shootout, 124-118, at Staples Center.

"We closed well," said Lakers forward Pau Gasol, who had a season-high 27 points and 12 rebounds.

Kobe Bryant led the Lakers (25-6) with season-highs of 44 points on 13-for-27 shooting and 11 assists. This was Bryant's seventh 40-point game this season. The league's leading scorer hit all 16 of his free throws and had just one turnover.

"That guy is amazing," Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "You know, to be able to shoot like he did with the finger problems that he has on his shooting hand, it's amazing."

The Warriors (9-22) led by as many as 15 points in the game thanks to Monta Ellis' 22 points and Corey Maggette's 25. However, costly mistakes in crunch time hurt their chances. In the final two minutes of play, the Warriors had a shot clock violation, Ronny Turiaf missed a pair of free throws and turned the ball over, and Andris Biedrins was whistled for an offensive foul. During that span the Lakers outscored the Warriors 8-3.

"Everything just went sideways," said Ellis, whose team shot 55.4 percent to the Lakers' 48.3 percent.

Added Biedrins: "We were playing really well, we were running the fastbreak and sharing the ball. In the second half, they played us differently defensively and our shots weren't going in."

As a team, the Lakers were more aggressive in the second half. Only 9-for-12 from the charity strip in the first half, they finished 32-for-36.

The Lakers went small during the final minutes of the game with Sasha Vujacic and Jordan Farmar, who had 12 points, playing well. Lamar Odom was also a key fixture in the Lakers come-from-behind win. His performance was a good sign after Lakers coach Phil Jackson criticized Odom's play of late during pregame.

"I don't think there's been anything that's been good about it," Jackson said. "I thought Lamar played poorly, down to a level I don't like to see (against Phoenix)."

After a poor first half (0-for-5 for 0 points and two rebounds), Odom finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

"He just has to remember sometimes what a great player he is," Bryant said. "He kind of starts to doubt himself too much, which he shouldn't."

Trailing by seven at halftime, the Lakers caught up with a 17-10 rally to take a 70-69 advantage, their first lead since the opening minutes of the game. The Lakers outscored the Warriors 36-25 in the third period.

The first half was all Warriors, however.

An energetic Golden State team made 11 of its first 14 shots, and used 10-0 and 11-2 runs to build an early 29-18 lead. Los Angeles appeared sluggish defensively as eight of the Warriors first 25 points were of the fastbreak variety.

Los Angeles gave up 35 points in the first quarter, the most in any quarter this season.

Golden State is now 0-2 this season against Los Angeles, but this one was easier to stomach than the 130-97 drubbing the Lakers handed the Warriors on Nov. 28. The Warriors have also taken a step in the right direction the last three games, having won two of their last three games, which include wins over Phoenix and Boston.

"It feels good," said Biedrins of team's recent play. "We talked after the game about how we can play against the Lakers almost the full game in their house. This just picks our confidence up and finally we have a full squad. We can finally see what we can do."

ARTEST UPDATE:

Artest addressed the media at halftime for 10 minutes after missing his third game in a row (concussion) after taking a spill outside the concrete steps of his home following the Lakers' loss to the Cavaliers Christmas day.

Artest said he was walking up the stairs, but doesn't remember how he fell. He will have a non-basketball workout to monitor his heart rate and blood pressure Wednesday, and Lakers coach Phil Jackson said he is hopeful that he will be ready to play Sacramento Friday.

Fellow Lakers aren't taking this incident lightly.

"It's very concerning," Bryant said. "This is my first time seeing him (on Tuesday). He doesn't look like himself."
