NBA Tuesday Night Recap and Notes: Lakers Win; Mayo Continues to Impress

The Kings fired Reggie Theus, but he was not the problem. Tonight, they lost by 32 to Portland. The Kings can't win or be competitive without their star player, Kevin Martin. Martin has been out due to an injury and the owners of the Kings should have waited for Martin to get healthy before deciding to fire Theus. The best game of the night was in Los Angeles where the Lakers came from a 15-point halftime deficit to beat the Knicks 116-114. Nate Robinson played well and had 33 points for the Knicks. Pau Gasol was out due to strep throat. Stephon Marbury was sitting in front row courtside enjoying the game and taking pictures with fans. Kobe Bryant led the comeback in the second half along with Trevor Ariza and Lamar Odom. In Charlotte, D.J.

Augustin hit three clutch free throws to tie the game near the end of the fourth quarter to help force overtime.  This ... (link)
