March 8, 2011 - The Lakers are on a massive 8-game winning streak after defeating the Atlanta Hawks 101-87. It was practically a one sided-game as the Lakers continued their dominating energy shown in the game vs. the Spurs.
A big story of the night was how Kobe Bryant scored 26 points, and passed Moses Malone to become 6th on the all-time scoring list of the NBA.
"He's very unique," said Drew, in his first season as the Hawks' coach, of the Lakers' star. "I was in L.A. when we traded for him, and you saw the talent.
That talent has definitely shown through his career. Now as he is passing one of the great NBA stars on the all-time scoring list, and as his team is on a great win streak and on their way to their third consecutive NBA championship!
Thursday, the Lakers face off vs. the Miami Heat. Although the Lakers have been playing extremely well, and the Heat have been playing.... well, not, it could still have the potential to be a great game full of all-star caliber players.
"Stay cool."
-- Phil Jackson, when asked how to beat the Heat Thursday.
