Israel says new eastern W.Bank settlement plans invalid

“We’re all different players, you know what I mean?” The damn cat is not going to bark. “There’s no sense in yelling at it”.
That Lakers’ scoring spurt proved to be a wakeup call for the Thunder, and the boys in blue were able to go on a run of their own to take an 11-point lead into halftime. Of course no one cares about that. And yet the Lakers only trailed by 10 because the Thunder was plagued by turnovers.
Marc Gasol scored 19 points and Mike Conley added 18 as Memphis routed Philadelphia.
The Thunder, who improved to 20-9 and third place in the Western Conference, put the Lakers away with a 22-0 run to start the third quarter. “They didn’t play well at all and really just got embarrassed by the way we played tonight”. That is just the honest-to-goodness truth. But when Bryant kept missing shots and his team kept trailing, it is surprising that at some point, he did not decide to stop taking shots. It was also blocked by Durant.
Bryant had a rough first quarter with Durant guarding him. Led by Bryant, LA fought back and flipped the script by taking a 42-39 lead with 5:05 left in the second quarter. Although both teams are struggling – the Lakers more so – this game should not be completely ignored.
For comparison’s sake, Durant had 21 points on seven-for-nine shooting.
The shooting guard has been hindered by a shoulder injury this National Basketball Association season, averaging just 16.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists a game, compared with career averages of 25.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists.
Instead, the Thunder featured double-digit efforts from Russell Westbrook (23 points), Serge Ibaka (17), Andre Roberson (15) and Enes Kanter (14). Bryant showcased his trademark fadeaway jumper that has made him great in his 20-year career. They’ve beaten the Lakers six consecutive times, matching the longest such streak by the Oklahoma City/Seattle SuperSonics franchise.
There were a few highlights in the rematch, mostly from Bryant. He also had five assists, including a behind-the-back pass in the third quarter that set up a 3-pointer by Lou Williams.
But while in past meetings the question regarding the Clippers – Lakers clash would be by how much the Clips would win, it’s hard to say that with a lot of confidence this season.
