SBG Global Opening Line: Lakers PK , Total 234

The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors play the back end of their home-and-home series tonight in Golden State with the Lakers trying to bounce back from last night’s 115-111 defeat. The Warriors had a huge 26 point lead in the third quarter last night but the Lakers came all the way back to take the lead in the fourth quarter. The Warriors though got two big three-pointers by Stephen Jackson late to win. Kobe Bryant had 36 points to lead the Lakers, 27 of those in the second half. Jackson had 31 points to lead Golden State. "I hated that it came down to that," Jackson said. "I think we got a little too complacent with that lead. We should have known Kobe was going to come back and take over and bring his team back. The biggest thing was in the third quarter we walked the ball up and they ran. And we got the lead by running. But we found a way to win. That shows the growth of this team from last year. It was ugly, but it was still a win." SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Lakers on the Road.

The win by the Warriors was their 10th in 14 games and kept them 1.5 games ahead of Denver for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference. The loss snapped the Lakers nine game home winning streak against Golden State. The Warriors have not swept a home-and-home series against the Lakers since the 1975-76 season. "It's really hard in the NBA to beat a team twice in a row, especially the Lakers, so we have to be on our A-game, we can't have letdowns like we did (Sunday)," Jackson said. Lakers’ center Pau Gasol did not play on Sunday and will not play tonight. He may return later this week.
