Bynum’s big game lifts Lakers to victory

November 24th, 2009 Kyle Yates Comments off

Andrew Bynum had a dominating game Sunday night against the Oklahoma Thunder, going 9-11 from the field, 7-7 from the free-throw line in route to scoring 25 points. He also had 9 rebounds, and 2 blocked shots. Managing to stay out of foul trouble, Bynum’s defense helped the Lakers open a 35 to 16 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Bynum wasn’t the only Laker to have a dominant game, though. Kobe Bryant chipped in 26 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds to give the Lakers a big lead early. A couple of circus shots by Kobe, including an impossible shot over the backboard, helped cement the momentum in the Lakers favor for the rest of the game. Pau Gasol put up 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists in his second game of the season.

The Lakers improved their record to 10-3 on the year, trailing Phoenix by half a game for the division lead. The Lakers face the New York Knicks for their next home game on Tuesday night.
