Lakers throttle Pistons
Bryant and Odom have big games in the second-half rally that defeats Detroit.

By KEVIN DING
The Orange County Register

LOS ANGELES – Asked about that long week of loss upon loss upon loss in Detroit back in June 2004 recently, one Lakers official said, "You mean 'Groundhog Day?'"

Seeking just one road victory in the NBA Finals that year to bring the series back to Staples Center, the heavily favored Lakers got mired in a monotony that left chunks of dynasty flying to Miami and Montana.

On Saturday night, nearly two years later, Phil Jackson finally got the Pistons back at Staples. The result was Jackson's biggest victory in this new era: 105-94 over an even mightier-looking Detroit crew sitting atop this NBA world.

"Beating them at this time of year," Lakers forward Lamar Odom said with an eye to the team's playoff hopes, "is big for us."

The game was not even nationally televised because of how far the Lakers had fallen, so a victory by them was almost as unexpected as Detroit's success in 2004. But in their fourth game in five nights, that toughest of NBA tests made additionally challenging because of Kobe Bryant's sinusitis, the Lakers played with a scrappiness Jackson's Lakers lacked in Detroit.

Guard Smush Parker even gave an NBA Finals-level postgame quote in a gleeful Lakers locker room: "It's a great feeling."

Bryant, who scored 40 points, lived up to every offensive standard he has set for himself this season. But beyond that, Jackson's strategy was also to shift the sleep-deprived and coughing Bryant to the top of the defense to provide on-ball pressure and spare him from guarding Richard Hamilton through screens, which Jackson referred to as "miles and miles of chasing."

Lakers Get It in Gear
They beat Detroit for the first time in seven games, a well-earned 105-94 win over the NBA's best team that gives new life to L.A.'s playoff drive.
By Mike Bresnahan, Times Staff Writer
March 5, 2006

It was like old times at Staples Center, a throwback to four, five, six years ago, when victories were plentiful and all — well, most — was well in the Lakers' sphere of influence.

They took it to the Detroit Pistons on Saturday, beating back the league's top team with a surprising but well-earned 105-94 victory that filled the Laker stretch drive with new life and reminded Laker followers that the past wasn't all that long ago.


The Lakers were game enough, refusing to be pulled back to .500 for a 10th time this season, and extended their hold on eighth place in the Western Conference to two games over Utah and Sacramento with 22 left in their regular season.

On a wider scope, they took a game against the Pistons for the first time since Game 2 of the 2004 NBA Finals — the Pistons had won the last six meetings — and ended an 0-14 skid against Detroit, Phoenix and San Antonio since the Shaquille O'Neal trade. They play the Spurs on Monday and Friday.

An 18-0 Laker run provided an 86-78 cushion early in the fourth quarter, and the Pistons, owners of the league's best record, never led again.

Bryant had 40 points on 13-for-26 shooting, and Lamar Odom had 24 points and 10 assists. Kwame Brown out-rebounded Ben Wallace, 12-5.

"We played about as well as we'd played all season," Laker Coach Phil Jackson said, simply and accurately.

Lakers are the elite
Lakers' rally stuns Pistons
By Ross Siler, Staff Writer

The Lakers weren't supposed to beat the Detroit Pistons because they hadn't in six games since the 2004 NBA Finals and because the Pistons came into Saturday night's game on pace to win 68 games this season.

They weren't supposed to beat a team that sent four players to the All-Star Game and has been chasing greatness, especially not after falling behind by 13 points midway through the third quarter.

They weren't supposed to beat the team that holds the patent on lock-down defense and 18-0 runs and everything the Lakers did right at the end of the third and start of the fourth quarters.

Out of nowhere, though, the Lakers came up with their most improbable and impressive win since Phil Jackson returned as coach, pushing back to beat the Pistons 105-94 with the Staples Center crowd on its feet in the end.

"We just played through it," forward Devean George said, "and good things happened."

Kobe Bryant finished with 40 points on 13-of-26 shooting, Lamar Odom added 24 points, 10 assists and five rebounds and Jackson noted the Pistons' loss was their 11th of the season.

That would be one more than his Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls had in finishing 72-10 in 1995-96, a record for the ages safe for another season.

"I did think about that when I was walking back in that hallway," Jackson admitted.

Lakers 105, Pistons 94

The Lakers' Kobe Bryant was on again, scoring 40 points in the defeat of the Pistons. go See full image

LOS ANGELES -- Former Pistons coach Doug Collins used to call it fool's gold. It's when a team builds a false sense of security from hitting a bunch of spectacular shots from the perimeter early in the game.

The Pistons stole a victory in Seattle on Friday with some spectacular outside shooting, even though they were outrebounded by 15 and outscored in the lane by 10.

On Saturday against the Lakers, the Pistons had a 10-point lead late in the third quarter, despite again being dominated on the boards and in the paint.

This time, there were no magic shots.

The Pistons missed the final six shots of the third quarter, sending the Lakers on a 12-0 run that they parlayed into a 105-94 romp at the Staples Center.

Walton stays upbeat
By Ross Siler, Staff Writer

As hard as he tried not to get down, Lakers forward Luke Walton admitted it was difficult when he didn't play in Tuesday's victory over Orlando. It was only the second time this season Walton had gotten the dreaded Did Not Play-Coach's Decision (DNP-CD) in the boxscore.

"You stay ready and you stay prepared, but when you're name doesn't get called the whole game, it kind of discourages you a little bit," Walton said. "But it's a job. It's nothing personal. Coach is trying to win, we're trying to win."

Life in the NBA changes from one night to the next, however, and that was the case for Walton in Wednesday's game against Portland. He played 19 minutes and helped lead the Lakers back with Kobe Bryant on the bench to start the fourth quarter.

Walton was back out for another 21 minutes against Golden State on Friday and was the one player Lakers coach Phil Jackson said afterward tried to do something with the ball other than force-feeding it to Bryant down the stretch.

It has not been an easy season for Walton, who suffered a torn hamstring in training camp and is shooting a career-low 36.7 percent, but those two games could be considered progress.

"It felt like I was getting a little bit of rhythm back, attacking the basket, trying to make some plays out there," Walton said. "It felt good to be back in the rotation."

Bynum Remains Glued to the Bench
By Mike Bresnahan, Times Staff Writer
March 5, 2006

The minutes have been few and fruitless for Andrew Bynum since the All-Star break, leaving no mystery as to where he is in the Laker pecking order.

"He's at the end of the bench," Coach Phil Jackson said Saturday. "He got a couple of seconds the other night."

ADVERTISEMENT
Jackson said two weeks ago that Bynum would have to develop into a relatively productive player because the "pressure's going to kind of accumulate on him the last third of the season, particularly if our injuries continue to plague us at that position."

But Bynum has totaled 11 minutes in three appearances since then, including five seconds of court time Friday against Golden State. He has sat out five of the Lakers' eight games since the break, and there are no more guarantees of playing time from Jackson.

"Right now, we have to win games," Jackson said. "That's our No. 1 priority."

Stephen A. Smith | U.S. team is all about Bryant
By Stephen A. Smith

Inquirer Columnist

You applaud when you see the names LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. You say "about time" when you see a shooter such as Michael Redd on the list.

But once you analyze the preliminary roster for the U.S. national basketball team - and notice the omission of Allen Iverson - the nausea that instinctively kicks in should not result from the inclusion of Luke Ridnour or rookie Chris Paul over the 76ers' dynamic superstar.

Try the name Kobe Bryant.

It may sting a little bit, but deal with it.

When you have Kobe Bryant, you don't need another shooter or scorer. You don't need a point guard who likes to shoot or score, either. You barely need another defender and, without question, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better winner or leader when it comes to basketball.

Of course, you'll never hear Jerry Colangelo, the national team's managing director, say such a thing. Nor will you hear it from any member of USA Basketball, because they know what we all know:

Iverson's talent and unwavering desire to try out for the Olympic team should far exceed any requirement for the World Championships, as well as the 2008 Games in Beijing.

"The fact that we had the interview, that we talked about it and gave it a lot of consideration, is not disrespect at all to anyone, especially Allen Iverson," Colangelo said from Phoenix yesterday, before heading to New York today to announce the preliminary roster.

T.J. Simers:
He Can't Keep His Nose Out of Lakers' Problems

March 5, 2006

It was only a matter of time before I got to the Zen Disaster, instilling in Phil Jackson Page 2 techniques for motivation, Jackson talking to reporters recently about his team and saying, "They stink."

Let's be serious, there really can't be any other explanation about how the Lakers beat the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night in Staples Center, the surprise now is why it took Jackson so long to embrace the Page 2 method of spurring our local heroes on to better results.


When I asked him about it before the game, he said he had just decided to get tougher with his players, and while he never mentioned our recent series of pregame chats designed to toughen him up, he said that he's no longer interested in "protecting [his players] from their own insecurities" with the media.

"Fresh meat for Page 2," I said, and if all it takes to get a big-time effort from the Lakers is to tell them they stink, I can hold off writing about hockey and horse racing for a while.

It's not like it's a secret that Smush Parker stinks. Sasha Vujacic might stink if he was still playing college basketball. Lamar Odom stinks sometimes, and that stinks. Kwame Brown stinks all the time. And just in case Devean George hasn't been paying attention the last six years, I personally went to him before the game with the Pistons, and told him he stinks.

He disagreed, and I think that stinks.

"You take [my performance] as being inconsistent, I take it as basketball," George said. "A lot of people measure whether you're playing good or not based on how many shots you make."

Even his explanations stink.

Vecsey, "Agent hopes Boozer will land in L.A.

snippet:

Agent Rob Pelinka pushed hard to get Carlos Boozer traded to the Lakers before last week's deadline, and plans to do his bullying best to force the action this summer. For some reason Chris Mihm, Devean George and Aaron McKie didn't appeal to the Jazz, or, for that matter, the Warriors, whom Utah tried to lure into the deal by offering to assume the stretch contracts of Troy Murphy and Derek Fisher. Chris Mullin couldn't get off the phone quick enough.

Daily dose: Kobe chasing milestone

L.A. Lakers
Kobe Bryant registered his 17th 40-point game leading the Lakers to a win at the Staples Center 105-94. Kobe has the chance to join elite company with 4,000 points this season. Only Michael Jordan (37.1 PPG) has had a higher scoring average (35.1) in the past 41 seasons. Lamar Odom came through with 24 points and 10 boards as well. … The Lakers have contact Jim Jackson about signing a deal for the remainder of the season. He was waived by the Suns last week and has not played in a game in two months. It's possible L.A. can ink for him just $500,000 for the remainder of the season.

Lakers won't be denied
Paul Oberjuerge, Staff Writer

LOS ANGELES - An hour before Saturday's game at Staples Center, Kobe Bryant made a brief appearance in the Lakers locker room.

The expression that came to mind was "death warmed over."

Bryant has been sick with flu-like symptoms for almost a week, and he certainly didn't look as if he had undergone a miracle recovery in the hours before an enormously difficult game vs. the Detroit Pistons.

He moved slowly. He coughed. He wheezed. He sniffled.

He whispered answers to a few questions, with the kind of barely audible voice that bespeaks "raw throat."

"I just feel kind of depleted, energy-wise," he said, as he shuffled toward the trainer's room.

"But," he said over his shoulder, "I'll be there at tipoff."

Stunning vision of hope

Lakers 105, Pistons 94: LA uses an 18-0 run to take control against the NBA's winningest team.


12:59 AM PST on Sunday, March 5, 2006

By BRODERICK TURNER / The Press-Enterprise

LOS ANGELES - It had the look of a death march for the Lakers, this four-game stretch in which they face two of the NBA's best teams and one of its most improved.
Terry Pierson / The Press-Enterprise
Lamar Odom battles the tough defense of Detroit's Tayshaun Prince (left) and Carlos Delfino without turning the ball over all night.

Rather than let what was in front of them make them weak, the Lakers confronted the baddest boys of the challenge in the Detroit Pistons and played one of their most impressive games of the season, a 105-94 victory Saturday night before 18,997 at Staples Center.

The Lakers used an 18-0 run in the third quarter to help beat a Pistons team with the best record. They played defense and let Kobe Bryant (40 points) and Lamar Odom (24 points, 10 assists) handle the offense.

"It was probably our biggest home win of the year," said Bryant, who made 13 of 26 shots despite a sinus infection.

Despite the Lakers' losses to lowly teams, Coach Phil Jackson said, "I had suspicion that we'd be able to win this game."

The Lakers overcame a 13-point, third-quarter deficit to improve to 31-29. Now it's on to two games with San Antonio, the first here Monday night, and one with New Orleans.

The Lakers increased their lead to two games over Utah and Sacramento for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West.

The Lakers trailed 70-57 to start the third quarter, and it looked as if it were going to be another of those bad third quarters by the Lakers.

But the Lakers took control late in the quarter and never trailed again.

Able to rest easy, Pistons do

12:54 AM PST on Sunday, March 5, 2006

GREGG PATTON

LOS ANGELES - You know things are looking good for you in the NBA when you can talk about resting your starters with 25 games to go in the regular season.

Not that Detroit Pistons coach Flip Saunders is ready to give Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace and Company extra time on the bench just yet. But when you own the eighth best 59-game record -- 48-11 -- in the history of the league, and you are 9 ½ games ahead of your nearest Eastern Conference competitor, you've earned your luxuries.

"Once we solidify where we are, we'll try to get some guys some rest" said Saunders, referring to postseason positioning and making you wonder just how better off you can get.

He also admitted something that coaches almost never admit, that all games aren't created equal.

"We'll try to take care of the Eastern teams and not worry so much about the West," he said, just before the Pistons went out and proved it against the Lakers at Staples Center.

Resting during the game wasn't what Saunders had in mind, but when his team went into a snooze late in the third quarter that extended into the fourth quarter, the Lakers took advantage.

An 18-0 run put the Lakers in control of the game, and they held off the cold-shooting Pistons, 105-94.

Jackson leery about Hornets' future in N.O.
Will play first game at Arena this season Wednesday vs. Lakers
Sunday, March 05, 2006
By John Reid
Staff writer

Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson apparently has some concerns about playing the Hornets on Wednesday night at New Orleans Arena. He also thinks the Crescent City is going to have a difficult time supporting NBA basketball on a regular basis again, despite the Hornets' expected return in 2007-08 to play a full, 41-game home schedule at the Arena.

"I have an unbiased and non-prejudicial view of New Orleans," Jackson said. "I've always had a wonderful time in the city, however, it is tough for them to support NBA basketball. There are not a lot of corporate businesses, and it has become a corporate business situation that has made the NBA successful. I never thought after the Jazz left (in 1975) they'll be able to support an NBA franchise again."

Jackson is considered one of the league's most respected and successful coaches, having won six championships with the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls and three with the Lakers from 2000-02.

"I think New Orleans is a spectacular entertainment town, but it takes a real consistency to hold an NBA franchise," Jackson said. "You really need to have a solid group of people who want to go to 41 home games."

1. Detroit (48-11) — With all five starters averaging 35 minutes, Flip Saunders says it's time to ease up on them. (Last week: 1)

2. San Antonio (46-12) — Why they're still here: Differential between their true shooting percentage (50.8%) and opponents' (44.7%) is NBA's best. (3)

3. Dallas (46-12) — Fear this: Before they fall in San Antonio, Cuban says Mavericks match up well with Spurs. (2)

4. Phoenix (40-17) — Oops: Bryan Colangelo leaves, Jerry Colangelo thinking about it, Kurt Thomas out 'til playoffs, Amare may still be two weeks off. (4)

5. Miami (38-20) — They say Shaq is all the way down to 326, but he's still averaging only 19.7 points. (5)

6. Clippers (33-24) — From now on it's about chemistry. In other words, Maggette has to make more from the outside or take fewer. (6)



..................14. Lakers (31-29) — These days it's all about Odom: Since Kobe's suspension Jan. 1-3, they're 7-1 when Lamar scores 17. (14)

Preview: Spurs at Lakers

Associated Press
Sun, Mar 5, 2006

GAME: San Antonio (46-12) at LA Lakers (31-29).

TIME: 10:30 pm EST Mon Mar 6, 2006

LINE: Oddsmakers have set the Lakers as 4-point home underdogs, the total is set at 187.

After knocking off one of the NBA`s best teams, it doesn`t get any easier for Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bryant and the Lakers will try to halt the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs` six-game winning streak when the clubs meet at Staples Center.

Los Angeles earned a 105-94 win over Detroit, owners of the NBA`s best record, Saturday. Bryant had 40 points to lead the Lakers, who scored 18 straight points bridging the third and fourth quarters to take control.

"It was a big win for us and a win that we don`t usually get, against a great team like Detroit," Bryant said. "It`s probably the biggest home win of the year for us."

The Lakers received solid defense from Bryant and Kwame Brown in the win. Bryant helped limit Pistons guard Chauncey Billups to four points in the second half and Brown held Rasheed Wallace to two points after halftime.

"Kwame came in and did a great job on Rasheed, just being physical and trying not to give him any air space," Bryant said. "Some of the shots they made in the first half, they didn`t make in the second half."

Of course, another big night from Bryant was also critical. He made 13 of 26 shots and all 13 free throws while being guarded primarily by Tayshaun Prince, who has had success against the Lakers superstar in the past.

Now Bryant will face another major nemesis in San Antonio defensive stopper Bruce Bowen. Bryant had one of his worst shooting games of the season the last time he faced Bowen, going 9-of-33 in a 90-84 loss Nov. 29.

The Lakers have dropped six straight regular-season games against the Spurs, including all five since the departure of Shaquille O`Neal. Although Bryant is averaging 21.3 points over his last four games against San Antonio, he is shooting only 31 percent in that stretch, and Bowen`s defense has been a big factor.

Los Angeles is holding down the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

San Antonio is beginning a difficult stretch in which it will play four games in five nights, including the first three on the road. The Spurs, battling with Dallas for the best record in the West, have managed to sweep just three of their first 10 sets of back-to-back games, and have lost the second game six times.

"We`ve had problems in back-to-backs -- they`ve been tough on us," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. "I`m very concerned."

Lakers can gain momentum, credibility
Win over Spurs would give L.A. victories over both finalists from '05

Kobe Bryant and the Lakers took out the Pistons on Saturday, but now the Spurs loom.

Michael Ventre
Sure, the Lakers knocked off the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night, but that was easy. The Pistons are a great team. It’s not difficult to get fired up to play a great team. Any NBA bottom-feeders suffering through the anguish of a pitiful season can muster a spark of pride on a given night against a mighty opponent in order to stick a feather in their dunce caps.

The Lakers’ problem this year has been consistency. They can beat good teams and lose to lousy ones. So if they really want to prove they’re playoff worthy, they need to follow up that victory over Detroit with another against a middling foe, a team that is slogging through an underachieving season and that doesn’t pose nearly the challenge offered by the Pistons.

A team like the San Antonio Spurs, for instance.
