March 18, 2011 - The big story of this game, besides Gasol putting up 25 points and Kobe adding another 18 on his sprained ankle, Andrew Bynum was ejected in the fourth quarter and is now suspended for the next 2 games.
Bynum, who had 10 points and 14 rebounds, got ejected with about 6 minutes left in the game after he demolished Michael Beasley who was knocked down while he tried to drive inside to the basket. Bynum is now suspended the next 2 games, which include a game vs. Portland and Pheonix.
The Lakers have now won 11 of their last 12 since the All-Star Break. They have been putting up great numbers and playing like a team in sync. Another thing I really liked was after Bynum's foul, his teammates were yelling and arguing with other players and referees while disagreeing with the call. This shows they have team unity, something not seen too much in the first half of the season. This led to a fiesty rest of the game for the LA squad who is now 49-20 on the season and slowly creeping up the standings in the West.
