Regular Season Round 74: LA Lakers - Cleveland C. 113-93
Date: January 13, 2013
Los Angeles -- Not much has gone right for the Los Angeles Lakers this season. So in an effort to rally his troops after a blowout loss to visiting Oklahoma City on Friday night, Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni figured he would try to get his beleaguered squad to look forward instead of back. "Our season starts Sunday," he said, referring to a date with the Cavaliers at Staples Center. In that case, the Lakers are undefeated after a 113-93 blowout victory over the Cavs. With Dwight Howard making a surprising return to the starting lineup after missing the past three games with a torn labrum in his right shoulder, the Lakers jumped off to a 13-4 lead and were never threatened. Cavs coach Byron Scott pulled his starters midway through the fourth quarter. The Cavs did beat the Lakers, 100-94, on Dec. 11 in Cleveland. But both squads looked a lot different Sunday. Kobe Bryant had 23 points, and Howard added 22 points and 14 rebounds for the Lakers, who snapped a six-game losing streak to improve to 16-21. Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters each had 15 points for the Cavs, Alonzo Gee had 14 points, and Tristan Thompson had 10 points and eight rebounds for the Cavs (9-30). You would never know there was anything wrong with the Lakers the way they started the game. They shot 65 percent in the first quarter en route to a 37-20 lead -- tying the most points a Cavs opponent has scored in a quarter this season. They outrebounded the Cavs in the first period, 13-6, and outscored them in the paint, 18-10. Bryant had 12 points, and Howard 10 points and five rebounds. Irving led the Cavs with seven points in the first quarter. Los Angeles opened the game by taking a 13-4 lead, and Scott surprisingly didn't take a timeout. It appeared to be the right move as the Cavs recovered to get back within 17-14 on an 18-footer by Tyler Zeller with 5:51 left in the period. Unfortunately for Cleveland, Los Angeles closed out the quarter on a 20-6 run. The Lakers pushed their lead to 19 points in the second quarter, at 48-29 after a three-point play by Howard with 8:03 left. But this time, it was the Cavs who finished the quarter strong, using a 16-9 run to get back within 57-45 at the half. Gee had eight points in the second quarter, including a fantastic alley-oop slam off a perfect feed from Irving with about four minutes left in the first half. His putback dunk with a minute left actually got the Cavs within 52-43 before another three-point play by Howard and a driving layup by Bryant pushed the lead back to 57-43. A Gee layup accounted for the halftime score. Thanks to Gee, the Cavs cut the Lakers' advantage in points in the paint to 26-24 at the half, but the Cavs developed other problems in the third quarter. A hook shot by Thompson got the Cavs within 57-47 to open the third, but the Lakers went on a 12-2 run for a 69-49 lead with 8:27 left. The last six points of the run came on a 3-pointer and then a three-point play by Metta World Peace, his first points of the game. Waiters got it going late in the third quarter and scored six straight points, on two jumpers and a finger-roll layup, and Cleveland got back within 73-61. But the Lakers scored seven straight, on a jumper and layup by Bryant and a 3-pointer by former Cav Antawn Jamison, for an 80-63 lead with about two minutes left in the third period. After three quarters, the Lakers were still leading, 86-69. Waiters had eight points in the third. Courtesy of: https://www.cleveland.com
