“I don’t believe it wins championships. (It) gets you to the playoffs.” – Byron Scott, on three-pointers
Game 2: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Phoenix Suns, 10/29/14
Final score: Suns 119, Lakers 99
Lakers made three pointers: 4 (Kobe Bryant – 2, Ronnie Price – 1, Wayne Ellington – 1) Four three-pointers is a new season high for the Lake Show, besting their previous record by one.
Last night the Lakers made less threes than…
- Marcus Morris and Isaiah Thomas. The Suns teammates each knocked down five triples in the win.
- Wes Matthews. The Blazers forward also connected five times from behind the arc last night.
- Free throws made by Wes Johnson. The Lakers wingman got to the line five times and sank them all on his way to a nine point night.
- Turnovers by John Wall. The speedy Wizards point guard coughed it up 6 times in the Wizards’ opening night loss to the Heat.
- Members of the Wu-Tang Clan. There were nine original Clan members: RZA, Method Man, Raekwon, U-God, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, GZA, and Masta Killa, with Cappadonna now accepted as the official tenth member of the group.
- Albums released by the Wu-Tang Clan. The Clan has released five albums: Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Wu-Tang Forever, The W, Iron Fist, and 8 Diagrams.
All right, well that’s it for today, everybody. The Lakers’ next matchup comes Friday night against their roommates, the Los Angeles Clippers. Make sure you check back Saturday morning to see what the Lakers made less threes than.
