The Atlanta Hawks were defeated by the Celtics tonight, leaving the Los Angeles Lakers alone with the best record in the league.
The Lakers pulled a victory Wednesday Night at New Orleans, ending the game with a seven point-lead 93-86 and improving to 7-0 on the season. Kobe Bryant played 38 minutes and ended the game with 20 points, six assists, four rebounds, and shot 9-9 from the free-throw line. He did, however, have a horrible shooting night from the perimeter shooting 5-15.
The Lakers had five players that scored double digit points and held the lead down the stretch. They have a a strong scoring team, powerful defenders, and the experience to continue their undefeated streak.
Predictions: I believe the Lakers will continue to have the best record for the entire season. They have the perfect team to reach the Finals and have every right to have total confidence in winning the Title this season.
