Bolden has been replaced by Jones in the starting lineup.

What'd I do ?

You werent doing much offensively or defensively when you were playing with the other starters, against the Hornets, you started but I let you play with the non-starters in the 3rd and you did well, Im hoping that trend will continue.

Minnesota's leading scorer was Garnett with 21.

Not too many highlights, just a lot of consistant play by both teams. OS went on many large runs but Minnesota would soon answer with a large run of their own. With Garnett inside it was difficult to keep pounding the ball down low. Bolden did a great job off the bench. The Thunder seem to have the deepest team in the league. Coffey is still having trouble with fouls and turnovers, and may find himself out of the starting lineup before too long.

Next game @ Washington

Hopp mised a shot from six feet out, Slater grabbed the rebound tossed up a hook shot. As the ball rolled all the way around the rim and finally fell in, the horn sounded, sending the game to avertime tied at 84.

Of course I made the shot, Kareem taught me his secret on his home court in L.A., I owe a lot to him. He still beats me every time we play one on one.

Pretty even game. A few OS mistakes kept Washington close in the first half. The third quarter remained close. going into the 4th quarter the score was tied at 59. Nick Coffey came back on the floor for the fourth quarter and hit 2 threes, got a steal, and had a monstrous slam, all in the first minute of play. Coffey gave the team the boost needed to pull away. Sky also helped the team pull away by playing big inside.

Los Angeles' leading scorer was Bryant with 24.

The Lakers started the game off with an 8 nothing run. Coffey finally hit a fade-away to put OS on the board. There wasn't much else happening for OS in the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter the score was 26-8, L.A. could not be stopped. In the second quarter Slater and Rasan did their job inside, on offense and defense. At the half the Lakers lead was only 12, 34-46. The third quarter was Shaq and Kobe's quarter. Kobe was hitting just about every shot he took, and Shaq was completely dominating the inside. The Lakers opened the lead up to 54-78 to finish the third quarter. OS had the lead cut to 12 with 2:23 left in the game, but couldnt get any closer.
