Lakers beat Kings 118-108

The Lakers improved to 11-1 after beating the Sacramento Kings and though the win wasn't one of their prettiest, a win is a win. Despite 18 turnovers in the game, which the kings converted into 30 points all five Lakers starters were in double digit scoring in the third quarter. Eight Laker finished in double digit scoring. Kobe Bryant led the way with 24 points, Gasol 16, Bynum 15, Odom 14, Radmanovic 12, Ariza 11, Fisher 10 and Farmar with 10. Despite all of that, it was a struggle against the struggling Kings who are really suffering without Kevin Martin who has been out for the last 6 games. At the beginning of the fourth quarter the Lakers enjoyed a comfortable 19 point lead after a Bynum three point play but things went sour. All of a sudden the Lakers lead was trimmed to 105-101 with just over 6 minutes to play. Kobe and company didn't panic though and were able to pull out the victory. Thank god!
