WINNING: Kobe GOES OFF and so does the Lakers Losing Streak

On the heels of Byron Scott becoming the Worst Lakers Coach of ALL-TIME, the TEAM avoids further futility in snapping a ten-game losing streak and avoiding the LONGEST LOSING STREAK in LA LAKER HISTORY




When Kobe Bryant scores 30 or MORE, the Lakers WIN Everytime (Lakers are 3-0 this season when Kobe scores 30+)




Cookin INDEED!  He was LEAD chef on the evening in the NBA and a season high for the MAMBA

38 points / 5 Rebounds / 5 Assists /   7/11 3 PT / 2 Steals  / +5 

And the Laker Girls Never looked so GOOD...




Good ol number 24 went OFF but other players like D'Angelo Russell (18/3/3) and Julius Randle had nice games too.

 Randle (15 pts/ 12 rebs) is 19th in "double-doubles" with 19 (over All-Star players like Draymond Green and Paul Millsap) and remains SNUBBED ... 



Tarik Black saw 20 minutes of PT including the final 2:55 in the first quarter and extended into the second.

He tied D'Angelo with HIGHEST +/- of any Laker with +15 after the first half of play.

Tarik had injured his foot, which was x-rayed today (2-3-16)with negative results.

 He left the game at the 2:12 mark in the first quarter.  The TEAM was up 57-45 at that moment. Tarik came into the game at the 2:55 mark in the first.  The Lakers were down 24-21.  Not ONLY did Tarik Black Play those consecutive minutes, but Roy Hibbert was out this entire stretch and only logged SEVEN first-half minutes.  

 Hibbert ended the game with a -9.

                     Black? +3

 And WHEN BLACK PLAYS his "plus/minus" is one of the highest on the TEAM!

 Tarik Black's has TWO "INACTIVES" (street clothes) and about 20 minutes of play in total over the previous FIVE GAMES.  

 Tarik played 20 in this one.  Most of his play was in the first half (when he then injured his foot).

 THIS is a MAJOR CHANGE in Byron Scott's foxhole.

 The numbers, for Tarik Black, will NOT always tell the story.  At one point Tarik had better than what Byron Scott Fan Boy Don MacLean calls 

 "a triple couple" (a couple a points, a couple of boards and a couple of fouls..)

 Black had a "quadruple couple" at one point: 2 pts, 2 boards, 2 blocks and 2 assists.  He added 2 more BOARDS to this tally, ending with 4 boards.

 The greatest positive play took place during that first-through-second quarter play when Black was on the floor for the LAKERS.

 Randle and Mamba helped out in quarter 1 with 6 and 5 points respectively.



The Lakers are 5-5 when leading at the end of the FIRST QUARTER.

Tarik Black appears to be FRONT and CENTER 

 and doing quite well..
