Swaggy P Set To Return
Nick Young to make season debut __________________________________________________ By Baxter Holmes | ESPNLosAngeles.com LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young will make his season debut Tuesday night against the Hawks after missing nearly six weeks with a torn ligament in his right thumb, coach Byron Scott said during the team's shootaround. Young's return will be a huge boost for the Lakers 2nd unit. Young will come off the bench for the 5-5 Lakers, Scott said. He will provide a much-needed scoring boost in the backcourt for a team that has relied heavily and almost solely on Kobe Bryant to provide any sort of offense. Bryant is leading the league in scoring with 26.6 points per game through the first 10 games of the season. Young averaged 17.9 points over 28.3 minutes in 64 appearances for the Lakers last season. |

Top Performers
Not: Jeff Teague. The young point guard couldn't get anything going as the Hawks played their worse game of the season. Teague shot 4-of-16 from the field just to score 16 points. Instead of using his attacking abilities, Teague settled for long jumper after long jumper after long jumper on his way to a terrible night shooting the rock. X-Factor: Nick Young. The man called Swaggy P made his season debut and he didn't disappoint. In just 13 minutes of action, Young dropped 23 points and grabbed 3 rebounds. Coach Scott gave him the green light and he took advantage of it by hoisting up 17 shots in his limited time on the court. Quotable: "I brought that extra swag the team was missing you know. My saw just rubs off on everybody else." Lakers SF Nick Young By The Numbers:22. The Lakers got out on the fast break all night long putting up 22 fast break points to the Hawks 2. Rookie Watch: Adreian Payne. The 15th overall pick was the best rookie out on the court tonight. Payne scored 11 points and pulled down 9 rebounds im 18 minutes off the bench. On Tap: The Lakers head to Houston to take on the Rockets tomorrow night on the back end of their back to back. |

Top Performers
Not: Jeremy Lin. Seems likes every time Lin has a horrible game, that Lakers take a loss. In 32 minutes, Lin scored 7 points on 1-of-5 shooting from the field. he also had 3 rebounds and 6 assist. Lin has struggled all season long shooting just 37% from the field and 35% from three. Many expected him to have a breakout year in LA, looks like they'll be waiting a while. X-Factor: Troy Daniels. The sharp shooting came off the bench and put up 13 points and 4 assist in 26 minutes. Daniels has taken over the 6th man role from veteran Jason Terry and it looks like he doesn't want to give it back any time soon. Quotable: "Hakeem and I have been working a lot with Dwight and his has shown great improvement in all facets of his game this season From post moves down to the free throw shooting." Rockets coach Kevin McHale By The Numbers: 17. Houston turned 12 LA turnovers in 17 points in their favor in the win. Rookie Watch: Kostas Papanikolaou. In 15 minutes, Papanikolaou scored 9 points on 3-of-6 shooting from the field. On Tap: The Lakers will end their three game road trip with a match up with the Dallas mavericks on Friday night.

Lakers-Mavericks Notebook
[Game Links: Lakers Boxscore | Mavericks Boxscore | Team Comparison] Kobe Shines In Win Over Mavericks By: ESPN.com Posted November 21, 2014 Fri, Nov 21, 2014 | Recap
Top Performers
Not: Monta Elles. Tonight was one of the game where Ellis needed to be reign in by coaches. With Dirk Nowitzki and Chanlder Parson having the hot hand, Ellis decided to play me ball and go head to head with Kobe. And he failed doing so. Ellis went 9-of-21 from the field to score his 19 points. He also dogged on the defensive end letting Bryant light him up all game long. X-Factor: Nick Young. Young's only job on the Lakers is to get buckets, and that he did. In just 17 minutes, Swaggy P scored 22 points on 9-of-18 shooting from the field. With Kobe resting to end the 1st quarter, Young came in and started hoisting up shot after shot after shot. These were one of the times that tactic worked for the Lakers. Quotable: "They had Monta on me a majority of the game, so I just used my height advantage and took him down into the post and shot over him." Lakers SG Kobe Bryant By The Numbers: 40. The Lakers got 40 points from their bench unit while the Mavericks got 27 from their 2nd unit. Rookie Watch: Jordan Clarkson. Clarkson finished with 4 points, 1 assist, and 1 steal in only 9 minutes of action. On Tap: The Lakers will have a day off before hosting the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night. |

Top Performers
Not: Aaron Afflalo. Afflalo struggled shooting the ball (3-of-10) for 10 points and also got torched on the defensive end by Bryant. Coming back to Denver hasn't been easy for Afflalo has all of his numbers have dropped from his career season last year with Orlando. Afflalo's calling card has always been his defense, looks like he's lost a step there too. Quotable: "Nothing was going to stop Kobe from having a game like that tonight. Nothing." Nuggets coach Brian Shaw X-Factor: Nick Young. Young had his 3rd 20 point game off the bench since coming backi finishing with 21 points in 23 minutes off the bench. The shocker is it only took Young 8 shot attempts to get his 20 points. Very impressive for a high volume shooter like Swaggy P. Young also chipped in with a season high 4 assist in the win. Rookie Watch: Gary Harris. The Nuggets 1st overall pick finished with 10 points and 3 rebounds in 13 minutes off the bench. harris went 4-of-5 from the field and a perfect 2-of-2 from the charity stripe in the losing effort. By The Numbers: 10. The Lakers controlled the paint finishing with 10 blocked shots. On Tap: After two days off, the lakers will host the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. |

Lakers-Grizzlies Notebook
[Game Links: Grizzlies Boxscore | Lakers Boxscore | Team Comparison] Grizzlies Thwart Lakers Late Comeback Attempt By: ESPN.com Posted November 26, 2014 Wed, Nov 26, 2014 | Recap
Top Performers
Not: Kobe Bryant. After stringing along an impressive scoring streak, Bryant finished with just 20 points against a very tough Memphis defense. Being hounded all night by Tony Allen, the Mamba only shot 8-of-20 from the field and had 3 turnovers in the process. Is Tony Allen the Kobe Stopper? Quotable: "Greta team win tonight. Everybody had a hand in this win." Grizzlies coach David Joerger X-Factor: Vince Carter. Half man, half amazing showed why even at his age, he's still one of the best 6th men in the NBA. Carter chipped in 15 points and 8 rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench for Memphis. Even though he had a rough night shooting the ball (4-of-11), he came through late in the game with some clutch free throws to keep the Grizz ahead. Rookie Watch: Jordan Adams. Adams got the start in place of the injured Courtney Lee, and the rookie played well. Adams scored 14 points while pulling down 5 assist in 29 minutes. The rookie also had 2 assist and a steal. By The Numbers: 50. Even in a losing effort, the Lakers got 50 points from their bench, a season high. On Tap: The Lakers will head to Atlanta to face the Hawks in Tuesday night. |

Top Performers
Not: Nikola Pekovic. The $12M dollar center struggled going up against a small Jordan Hill. Pekovic went 2-of-7 from the field to score his 9 points in the loss. He did have a team best 13 rebounds, but was outplayed and ou-thustled badly by the Lakers big men rotation all game long. With his price tag, Pek can't have games like this. Quotable: "We played like trash all game long. They just wanted it more. A 36 year old Kobe was going up for rebounds while our young guys are just sitting back." Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders X-Factor: Carlos Boozer. Boozer didn't have any eye popping numbers (11 pts, 6 rebs), but he had a hand at containing the Timberwolves front court. In his matchup with Thad Young, Boozer held Young to 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting from the field. Rookie Watch: Andrew Wiggins. The number one overall pick scored 12 points and grabbed 3 rebounds in 28 minutes of action. Wiggins went 6-of-13 from the field. His percentage could have been better if he didn't go 0-of-5 from behind the arc. By The Numbers: 38. The Lakers brought it on the defensive end holding the Timberwolves to just 38% shooting from the field. On Tap: The Lakers will host the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night. |

Lakers-Raptors Notebook
[Game Links: Raptors Boxscore | Lakers Boxscore | Team Comparison] DeRozan Drops 31 In Win Over Lakers By: ESPN.com Posted November 30, 2014 Sun, Nov 30, 2014 | Recap
Top Performers
Not: Kobe Bryant. Yes Kobe led the Lakers with 27 points but he played zero defense against Demar DeRozan. Bryant played off on DeRozan all game long and the 6th year guard made him pay for it by having his best game of the season so far. Kobe said pre-game that he was "dog tired". Has Bryant's ago finally caught up to him or is Byron Scott running him into the ground with his high usage rate? Quotable: "DeMar showed tonight why he's the best 2-guard in the NBA, hands down." Raptors PG Kyle Lowry X-Factor: Patrick Patterson. The former Kentucky Wildcat got the starting nod over Amir Johnson and he didn't disappoint. Patterson scored a season high 22 points to go along with 7 rebounds in 29 minutes of action. Even though he went 0-of-3 from three, Patterson knocked down 11-of-19 from the field and went perfect at the free throw line. Rookie Watch: Jordan Clarkson. Clarkson played 16 minutes off the bench for the Lakers and finished with 7 points and 2 assist on 2-of-5 shooting from the floor. The rookie guard has moved passed Ronnie Price for 2nd string point guard duties. By The Numbers: 12. The Raptors were +12 on the boards as they out-rebounded the Lakers 53-41. On Tap: The Lakers will hit the road for game one of their 3 game road trip starting off against the Pistons |
