Up next for Lakers: Sunday vs. Boston
Boston is coming off one of its worst losses of the season, an 88-71 stunner in Phoenix.
Kings are a royal pain for the Lakers
Sacramento takes a 20-point lead and holds off L.A, 100-95. Kobe Bryant scores 38 points to become No. 8 on the all-time list.
Lakers not thinking about home-court advantage, yet
They are 6 1/2 games behind first-place San Antonio in the West, but Coach Phil Jackson says concern about playoff positioning doesn't really kick in until after the All-Star game.
Kobe Bryant wants to give Phil Jackson one more title as parting gift
He acknowledges the importance of winning it all this year 'to send him off in the right way.' Jackson reiterates he will be done coaching after this season: 'There's no "maybe." '
Top vote-getter Kobe Bryant is an All-Star for the 13th time
Orlando's Dwight Howard receives the most votes for Eastern Conference team.
Lakers' Andrew Bynum is not worried about scoring
With his defense, rebounding and shot-blocking, the young center is getting the job done.
Steve Blake has a big impact in Lakers' win over Jazz
Blake is a playmaker, scorer, rebounder and tough guy in victory over Utah.
Trying to gauge whether the Lakers are aging well
GM Mitch Kupchak gives his take in response to Jerry West's assertion that the team is getting long in the tooth.
Lakers don't play same old defense
Jerry West's comments appear to have fired them up against Jazz, but Phil Jackson agrees with Mr. Clutch.
Technically speaking, a lot of the NBA calls aren't sticking
Lakers have experienced both sides of the trend — more fouls for unsportsmanlike behavior and the league's rescinding a far larger number of these fouls upon review.
Jazz still a staple of Lakers' home-cooked diet in L.A.'s 120-91 win
Utah may as well not even bother showing up against Lakers at Staples Center, where Jazz has now lost to them 17 consecutive times.
Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw wants to see more 'mean' from Lakers
Comparing this season's team to the three Lakers championship teams he played on from 1999-2002, Shaw says the current edition has 'a lot more nice guys.' He'd like to see more physical, intimidating play, particularly from big men.
Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher defend the Lakers' defense
After NBA legend Jerry West says team was having trouble because of age factors, Fisher and Bryant say there's been improvement in the last 10 to 11 games following a change in strategy.
Is age catching up to Lakers' defense?
Lakers great Jerry West suggested last week that the team's defensive issues were related to their 'getting long in the tooth,' and Coach Phil Jackson agrees, up to a point. But the statistics say they're doing a pretty good job.
This time Lakers' struggles might prove more costly
Regular-season underachievement (or coasting) is nothing new for Phil Jackson's Lakers. Still, it could be more difficult to overcome this season, now that the myth of their superiority in the West has been exploded.
