he Lakers beat up on the Detroit Pistons last night 106-93. The game was close in the beginning but after the Lakers built a lead led by their star Kobe Bryant, the Pistons were never really able to recover. It wasn’t actually the stiffest of competition considering that both Prince and Hamilton were out with injuries for the Pistons. But it was good to get a win and avoid what potentially could have been a 3 game losing streak for the Lakers. But we knew of course Kobe wasn’t going to allow that to happen.

At some point during the 3rd quarter, Kobe Bryant took the ball baseline where he was met by two Piston defenders. Somehow he managed to twirl in the air and throw the ball over this shoulder and into the basket. Rather than me try to explain this crazy and amazing shot by Kobe, check out the video here.

All in all, good win for the Lakers. Taking care of business at home and against a sub-par team. And holding yet another team under 100 points. That is what the championship teams do.
