Lakers proved that they are not a one-man show by winning their last four games without Kobe Bryant. This shows skill depth in this team which is reigning champion. Shannon Brown and Andrew Bynum rose to occasion nicely. Shannon set career highs with 27 points and 10 rebounds while starting in place of the injured Kobe Bryant in Golden State warrior game.
Andrew Bynum on the other hand added 21 points and seven rebounds in his return to the lineup. His bruised right hip is still troubling him but he is coping with it in style. He was 8 for 11 from the field in 30 minutes. The defending NBA champions have won all four games they’ve played without Bryant, who also was unable to play in the All-Star game.
But will they be able to pull it off against Celtics as well… Only time will tell. At the time of this post match is nicely poised at Celtics with a 29-27 lead after first quarter, lets see how things end up.
