An exhilarating and exciting basketball game ensued when the Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Cleveland Cavaliers on January 19th.  In the first few minutes of the game, Kobe Bryant dislocated his shooting hand’s ring finger defending Lebron James.  After a brief timeout and the trainer popping his finger back into the socket, Kobe returns, and even though he was in noticeable pain, he continued to be his usual superstar self.  The game was filled with runs and streaks, and the Lakers came away with a good win with the final score not ending close at 105-88.

The Lakers are definitely the team that most likely will come out of the Western Conference and make the Finals, but the Cavaliers must make it past the defending champs, the Boston Celtics, and Stan Van Gundy’s Orlando Magic, who are having one heck of a year.  It will be a very interesting second half of the season as all 4 of the best teams in the league have similar dominant records.
