If the sports maxim that a player’s true greatness is judged by the number of championships won can also be ap-plied to members of team management, Mitch Kupchak’s tenure as the General Manager and head of the Lakers basketball operations looks to be off to a remarkable start. Kupchak has filled in admirably as the successor to Jerry West, as the Lakers have been crowned NBA Champions in each of the first two years of his stewardship. Kupchak has acquired players like Horace Grant, Samaki Walker and Lindsey Hunter, all important members of Los Angeles’ last two championship runs. The acquisition of Grant was a trade that involved four teams (the Lakers, New York Knicks, Seattle SuperSonics and Phoenix Suns), as well as 12 players, and is the largest such transaction in league history. Kupchak enters his 16th season as a club executive and his third as the head of the team’s basketball operations. Although his job description includes a variety of responsibilities which keep him thoroughly active 12 months a year, Mitch’s top priority is the day-day-day management of the team. Included in his management duties are per-sonnel decisions, contract negotiations, salary cap concerns and strategy, overseeing the Lakers’ entry in the annu-al Summer Pro League and the scouting of collegiate players. Additionally, he deals with various marketing and public relations functions. Kupchak, who joined the Lakers front office in 1986 following a 10-year NBA career, has played prominent roles in the past success of the Lakers as well as in the club’s recent return to the upper echelon of the NBA. Originally a first-round draft choice of the Washington Bullets in 1976 (13th overall), Mitch spent the first five years of his career with the Bullets, earning NBA All-Rookie Team honors following the 1976-77 campaign. He posted a career-best field goal percentage during his rookie season (.572), a figure which at the time represented the tenth highest in league history. During the 1977-78 campaign, Mitch played an important role in Washington’s drive to the NBA championship, posting a career-high-tying 32 points against the Lakers on November 24, 1978, and his scoring average that season (14.6) ranked second among all NBA reserves. Following his stint with the Bullets, the Lakers acquired Kupchak from Washington on August 5, 1981 in exchange for Jim Chones, Brad Holland and a pair of draft choices. A reserve during his five-year tenure with the Bullets, Mitch was quickly inserted into the Lakers starting lineup during the first 26 games of the 1981-82 campaign aver-aging 14.3 points and 8.1 rebounds. Unfortunately, Kupchak suffered multiple injuries to his left knee during a game at the San Diego Sports Arena on December 19, 1981, an injury which required two major operations. It was feared – even expected - that he would never play again, and in fact he missed the entire 1982-83 campaign. How-ever, he proved doctors wrong by returning to the Lakers in the early portion of the 1983-84 season after undergo-ing intense daily therapy for 16 months. His persistence paid big dividends, as the reserve forward/center played a vital role in the Lakers march to the NBA title in 1985, allowing him to become a select group of players to win an NBA championship with two different clubs. Additionally, he remains one of only four players in club history to convert at least 10 field goals in a game without a miss (11-11 vs. San Antonio 11/20/81, joining Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Byron Scott). Prior to the start of the 1986-87 campaign, after another lengthy rehabilitation following another knee injury, Kup-chak retired as a player and joined the front office. He concluded his NBA career averaging 10.2 points and 5.4 rebounds in 510 regular season games, while his career field goal percentage (.523) still ranks 33rd among all-time NBA leaders. Due to his unfortunate injury and aware that his playing career would end prematurely, Kupchak studied for an MBA degree at UCLA during his spare time and rehabilitation stints, and earned that degree in February of 1987. This foresight helped prepare Mitch for his present job as a professional sports executive. A long-time Yankees fan who admired Mickey Mantle as a kid, Mitch was born in Hicksville, New York on May 24, 1954 and starred at Brentwood High School on Long Island. He was an All-America standout at the University of North Carolina, where he earned ACC Player of the Year honors as a senior. He averaged a career-high 18.5 points per game during his junior campaign, and ranked eighth overall in the NCAA in field goal percentage that season (.602). He was one of 20 former UNC standouts to have his jersey (#21) honored and raised to the rafters of the Smith Center in Chapel Hill during a special ceremony in November of 1994. Prior to his initial NBA campaign, Mitch was the starting center on the gold-medal winning United States team in the 1976 Olympic Games. An avid golfer, Mitch and his wife Claire live in Brentwood with their son Maxwell (5) and daughter Alina (3).

Though his tenure in Los Angeles has been relatively brief, Phil Jackson’s results as Head Coach of the Los Angeles Lakers have been nothing short of amazing. Jackson has led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA Championships (2000-02) for the first time in franchise history. First with the Chicago Bulls (1991-1993 and 1996-1998), and now with Los Ange-les (2000-2002), Jackson has been at the helm of nine of the last 12 NBA Champions. After the Lakers four-game sweep of the New Jersey Nets in the 2002 NBA Finals, Jackson became the first person to lead a team to three consecutive championships three different times. Now in his fourth season in Los Angeles, Jackson has led the Lakers to victories in 70 percent of the team’s contests and has compiled a 231-97 regular season record. Now in his 13th season as an NBA head coach, Jackson has a mark of 776-290 (.728) which is the best winning percentage of any coach in NBA annals. Additionally his total of 776 regular season wins ranks 12th all-time. During the 1999-2000 campaign, Jackson led the Lakers to a 67-15 record which repre-sents the second-best mark in franchise history. His postseason resume is even more impressive. Jackson has led the Lakers to a 45-13 mark in the playoffs, including the team’s 15-1 (.938) run during the 2001 NBA playoffs, which is the highest winning percentage for any club in a single postseason. With a career postseason record of 156-54, Jackson has the highest playoff winning percentage of any coach in NBA history and his 156 wins in the highest postseason victory total for any head coach. His nine NBA Champi-onships as a head coach tie him for the all-time mark with Boston’s Red Auerbach. Dating back to 1996, he has led his teams (Bulls and Lakers) to victory in 25 consecutive postseason series, another NBA record. During the 1995-96 season, Jackson led the Bulls to the NBA’s best-ever regular season record at 72-10, and a year later he led Chicago to the second-best-ever NBA regular season mark at 69-13, which tied the mark of the 1971-72 Lakers. On Dec. 7, 1996 he was named one of the 10 greatest head coaches in NBA history and also garnered 1996 NBA Coach of the Year honors. Jackson was named the 15th head coach in Los Angeles Lakers history on June 16th, 1999 at a press conference held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. Jackson joined the Lakers after a one-year sabbatical which followed 12 incredibly successful seasons with the Chicago Bulls, the last nine (1990-1998) coming as Chicago’s head coach. In his nine years as the head coach of the Bulls Jackson led Chicago to championships in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998 and compiled a regular-season record of 545-193. In his first campaign as the Bulls head coach his team finished with a 55-27 record, the best mark posted by a first-year Bulls head coach. He reached 200 career victories faster than any coach in NBA history, accomplishing the feat after only 270 games. Jackson has a storied basketball career which began as a player at the University of North Dakota where he was a two-time All-American under head coach Bill Fitch. He was drafted by the New York Knicks in the second round of the 1967 NBA Draft (17th overall pick) and played 12 seasons in the NBA, missing the 1969-70 season due to injury. He was a key member of New York’s 1973 NBA Championship team and is one of nine men to win an NBA Championship as both a player and a head coach. On June 8, 1978, Jackson was traded to the New Jersey Net where he would play his final two NBA seasons. Jackson ended his NBA career averaging 6.7 points and 4.3 rebounds in 807 regular season games. While with the Nets, Jackson served as a player/assistant coach for both the 1978-79 and 1979-80 seasons and joined the bench full-time for the 1980-81 campaign. During the 1981-92 season, Jackson also served as a Nets television ana-lyst. He returned to coaching, joining the Continental Basketball Association’s Albany Patroons where he would coach from 1982-1987. Jackson led the Patroons to the 1984 CBA Championship and was also named the CBA’s Coach of the Year in 1985. He is the first person to win championships as a head coach in both the NBA and CBA.

DALLAS MAVERICKS 2002-2003 REVIEW

Mavericks 98, LAKERS 72 Tuesday, November 19 – American Airlines Center Game 11 (3-8) In the Lakers most lopsided loss of the season, the Dallas Mavericks handed Los Angeles their fourth straight road loss in a decisive 98-72 victory at American Airlines Center. With the score knotted at 25 after the first quarter, Dallas outscored the Lakers by 15 points in the second and by nine in the third as they stretched their unbeaten streak to 11. Los Angeles once again struggled from the field, shooting an L.A. franchise low .308 on 28-91 shooting. Kobe Bryant scored a team-high 16 points while Rick Fox pulled down a team-high-tying 9 rebounds and team-high five assists in the loss. Steve Nash led all scorers with 21 points and handed out a game-high 6 assists for the Mavericks. Michael Finley grabbed a career-high 15 re-bounds for Dallas, one of three Mavericks logging double-figures on the boards. LAKERS 105, Mavericks 103 Friday, December 6 – STAPLES Center Game 21 (8-13) In one of the largest comebacks in franchise history, the Lakers overcame a 27-point fourth quarter deficit to defeat the Dallas Mavericks 105-103 at STAPLES Center. Los Angeles trailed 88-61 entering the final period before converting 16-18 field goals, including 4-6 from three-point range and outscored the Mavericks 44-15 to earn the win. Kobe Bryant scored 21 of his game-high 27 points in the final quarter and did not miss a shot in the quarter (8-8 FG, 1-1 3FG, 4-4 FT). Bryant added nine rebounds and seven assists. Shaquille O’Neal tallied 26 points and 11 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the year. Robert Horry registered 11 points, eight rebounds and six assists in 32 minutes off of the bench. The Mavericks, who tied a Lakers opponents’ mark for most three-point field goals made in a game with 15, were led by Nick Van Exel who scored 25 points in 35 minutes off of the bench. Dirk Nowitzki added 21 points and 12 rebounds. The Lakers overcame the second-largest deficit to begin a fourth quarter (27 points) in NBA history and the largest halftime deficit (28) in franchise history. LAKERS 100, Dallas 89 Thursday, April 3 – American Airlines Center Game 75 (44-31) Named Western Conference Player of the Month for March, Shaquille O’Neal didn’t miss a beat in his first April game as the Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 100-89 at American Airlines Center. O’Neal, who is averaging 34.5 points and shooting 62 percent from the field in his last 10 games, scored 31 points and grabbed 17 rebounds versus a Maverick team that boast-ed the best record in the NBA entering the night’s contest. Kobe Bryant scored 10 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter and opened the first 3 ½ minutes of the final period shooting 4-of-5 from the field. The game was tied 49-49 at the half thanks to a Derek Fisher three-pointer to beat the buzzer. Fisher finished the game with 18 points including 4-of-4 shooting from behind the arc and a season-high eight rebounds. The Lakers, however, found themselves trailing by four with 3:45 to play in the third quarter. Los Angeles promptly responded, going on a 15-2 run and closing the period up by seven. Dallas would never get closer than five the rest of the way. Dallas was led by Dirk Nowitzki’s 25 point, 22 rebound effort while Steve Nash scored a team-high 26 points. Former Lakers guard Nick Van Exel scored 19 points off the bench while Robert Horry came off the bench for the Lakers to score 13 points and grab eight rebounds in 37 minutes of action. LAKERS 108, Dallas 99 Tuesday, April 8 – STAPLES Center Game 78 (47-31) With six players scoring in double-figures, the Lakers notched their 25th consecutive home victory over the Dallas Mavericks 108-99 at STAPLES Center. Devean George led the way for the Lakers with 21 points off the bench, marking the first time that a player other than Shaquille O’Neal or Kobe Bryant has led the team in scoring since Derek Fisher’s 28-point effort Janu-ary 12th, 2002 at Chicago, a span of 125 regular season games. Shaquille O’Neal, who finished with 14 points and 10 re-bounds for his 43rd double-double of the season, and Kobe Bryant, who tallied 14 points and eight rebounds, didn’t reach dou-ble-figures in scoring until the fourth quarter. The rest of the team picked up the slack. Robert Horry scored a season-high 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Derek Fisher tallied 16 points and eight assists and Rick Fox scored 16 points including 4-of-8 from behind the arc as the Lakers recorded their 13th straight victory at home. The Lakers trailed at the half by three but battled back to gain a one-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. Bryant buried a three-quarter court shot from 70 plus feet just as time expired but had it waived off as the ball left his hand after time had expired. The shot seemed to turn the tide, however, as the Lakers outscored the Mavericks 32-24 in the final period. Dallas was led by Raef LaFrentz and Dirk Nowitzki who scored 26 points a piece while Steve Nash added 21 points and 10 assists for the Mavericks in the loss. With the victory, the Lakers take the season series 3-1.

LAKERS vs. TIMBERWOLVES 2002-03 REVIEW

Minnesota 110, LAKERS 107 Sunday, December 1 – STAPLES Center Game 18 (6-12)

The Lakers were outscored 26-16 in the third quarter and squandered a 10-point halftime lead in losing 110-107 to the Minne-sota Timberwolves at STAPLES Center. Los Angeles led 60-50 at the half, and again by 10 points (74-64) with 4:06 remaining in the third quarter, but were outscored 12-2 and entered the final period tied at 76. The Wolves took an eight-point lead into the final 41.1 seconds (97-105) before the Lakers mounted a final charge. Trailing by three-points with 9.6 seconds left, Kobe Bryant attempted a three-pointer and was fouled by Joe Smith. Bryant converted the first two attempts, but missed the third and tying free throw and the Timberwolves were able to hold off the Lakers over the final 5.0 seconds. The Lakers were led by Shaquille O’Neal who tallied team-highs in points (31) and rebounds (13). Bryant added 22 points and a game-high 11 assists. The Wolves were led by Kevin Garnett who scored a team-high 23 points and grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds. Anthony Peeler added 17 points in 30 minutes off of the bench. Minnesota 96, LAKERS 80 Tuesday, December 17 – Target Center Game 26 (10-16)

The Lakers road woes continued as they were defeated 96-80 by the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center. Los An-geles trailed early and never led in the contest and was defeated for the 11th time in their 13 road contests. Shaquille O’Neal led the Lakers with 17 points and nine rebounds, while Kobe Bryant added 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists. The Lakers 80 points were the fewest the team had scored since O’Neal’s return on November 22. Minnesota was led by Kevin Garnett who tallied 23 points and 11 rebounds. Joe Smith added a game-high 13 rebounds in 27 minutes off of the bench. LAKERS 106, Minnesota 96 Friday, March 7 – STAPLES Center Game 60 (34-26)

Behind Shaquille O’Neal’s season-high 40 points, the Lakers won for the eighth time in nine games and extended their home winning streak to seven, beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 106-96 at STAPLES Center. O’Neal, who turned 31 the day before, looked like his old self, pulling down 14 rebounds, handing out four assists and blocking five shots. Kobe Bryant added 30 points on 12-of-24 shooting while logging seven assists and three steals. The Lakers opened the first quarter with a seven point lead and extended the margin to 10 at the half. The Timberwolves opened the half with a 12-0 run to take a two point lead, their only lead of the half, but that proved short-lived as the Lakers ended the period ahead by five. Los Angeles pulled away in the final quarter, amassing as much as a 17-point lead en route to the victory. Starters Rick Fox (13 points, six re-bounds), Derek Fisher (nine points, six rebounds, five assists) and Mark Madsen (season-high 10 points, six rebounds) carried the load for the Lakers while their bench was outscored 27-4. Rasho Nesterovic led the Timberwolves with 19 points on 9-of-10 shooting while Kevin Garnett logged a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. LAKERS 106, Minnesota 99 Friday, March 14 – Target Center Game 64 (36-28)

With Los Angeles’ lead cut to three in the game’s final minute, Derek Fisher knocked down a clutch jumper with 26.6 seconds remaining to help seal the win and get the Lakers road trip back on track with a 106-99 victory over the Minnesota Timber-wolves at Target Center. Fisher, who finished the game with 21 points in a team-high 40 minutes, was the only Laker to score in the final eight minutes aside from Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. Bryant finished with a game-high 30 points while Shaquille O’Neal recorded 26 points, a team-high 15 rebounds and game highs in assists (6) and blocks (5). The Lakers, who won for just the fifth time after trailing at the half, tied a season-low with five turnovers and moved to within a half-game of num-ber six Utah in the Western Conference playoff chase. Kevin Garnett led the Timberwolves with 23 points and a game-high 17 rebounds while Troy Hudson added 21 points and six assists in the loss. The Lakers and Timberwolves split the season series 2-2.

LAKERS vs. SUNS 2002-03 REVIEW

Suns 107, LAKERS 93 Saturday, January 4 – America West Arena Game 33 (13-20) The Phoenix Suns went on a 14-0 run early in the second quarter and the Lakers were never able to recover as they were defeated at America West Arena 107-93. Los Angeles held a one point lead at the end of the first quarter (23-22), and the teams traded baskets before Phoenix went on their run and took a 13-point lead (20-47). The Lakers cut the lead to one point (53-54) with 7:52 remaining in the third quarter but never got any closer and were defeated in their first game of 2003. Kobe Bryant led all scorers with 37 points, while also tallying seven rebounds and seven assists. Shaquille O’Neal added 25 points and nine rebounds in the loss. Phoenix was led by Shawn Marion who scored a team-high 23 points. Stephon Marbury chipped in with 17 points, eight rebounds and a game-high 10 assists. LAKERS 109, Suns 97 Sunday, January 5 – STAPLES Center Game 34 (14-20) Just one night after losing to the Suns in Phoenix, the Lakers avenged that loss with a 109-97 victory over Phoenix at STA-PLES Center. Shaquille O’Neal led Los Angeles with 36 points and 16 rebounds, and converted 15 of his 19 field goal at-tempts. Kobe Bryant added 31 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists and Rick Fox tallied a season-high with eight assists. The Lakers outrebounded the Suns 53-37 and shot .524% (43-82) from the field. The Suns were led by Stephon Marbury who scored a team-high 32 points and handed out six assists. LAKERS 99, Suns 90 Wednesday, January 29 – America West Arena Game 43 (20-23) Behind Kobe Bryant’s 40-point effort, the Lakers snapped the Phoenix Suns 11-game home winning streak with a 99-90 victo-ry at America West Arena. Bryant, who added five rebounds and four assists in logging a game-high 46 minutes, scored 25 second-half points, 14 in the fourth quarter. Shaquille O’Neal added 25 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and three blocked shots while Robert Horry matched a season-high with 16 points. O’Neal, who was whistled for four fouls in the third quarter, went to the bench with three minutes remaining in the period. Phoenix responded, cutting the Lakers lead to 72-67 on a pair of Stephon Marbury free-throws with 10:34 to play. But O’Neal returned with a dunk and follow-up tip while Bryant matched Mar-bury down the stretch as the Lakers pulled away in the final minutes. Marbury led Phoenix with 33 points and a game-high 10 assists while Shawn Marion posted a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds in the loss. LAKERS 115, Phoenix 113 Sunday, April 6 – STAPLES Center Game 77 (46-31) Overcoming a five-point deficit in the final two minutes of regulation and again turning to Kobe Bryant who hit a game winning jump shot with 28 seconds left in overtime, Los Angeles clinched a playoff berth as they defeated the Phoenix Suns 115-113 at STAPLES Center. The Lakers, now in the playoffs for the ninth consecutive year, earned their 12th straight home-win despite Stephon Marbury’s 40-point outburst. Bryant, who also was responsible for knotting the game in regulation with a 13-foot jumper from the right baseline, finished with a team-high 26 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Shaquille O’Neal, who saw double-teams most of the night, added 22 points on 8-of-12 shooting, grabbed 13 rebounds, handed out a season-high tying seven assists and blocked six shots in the victory. Derek Fisher scored 20 points while Devean George came off the bench to contribute 15 points. The Suns had all five starters score in double-figures. Marbury, who had a game-high 40 points, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out eight assists for Phoenix. Shawn Marion tallied 18 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists and seven steals in the loss.

LAKERS vs. BLAZERS 2002-03 REVIEW

Portland 102, LAKERS 90 Wednesday, October 30 – Rose Garden Game 2 (0-2) The Lakers were on the wrong end of a 20-0 run midway through the second quarter and were defeated 102-90 by the Port-land Trail Blazers at the Rose Garden. Los Angeles led by two points (29-27) before the Portland run and found themselves trailing by 18 (29-47) before they registered any more points. Portland led by 20 points for most of the game before the Lakers late run cut the winning margin to 12 points. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with his second consecutive double-double of the season with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Slava Medvedenko added 15 points and a career-high nine rebounds in the loss. Portland was led by Rasheed Wallace who tallied a game-high 28 points. Damon Stoudamire added 16 points, six assists and six rebounds. LAKERS 98, Portland 95 (OT) Friday, November 3 – STAPLES Center Game 4 (2-2) Behind the second consecutive triple-double from Kobe Bryant, the Lakers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers in overtime, 98-95. Los Angeles trailed by eight points (69-77) with 5:11 remaining in the game before going on a 12-4 run to tie the game at 81 with 54.8 seconds in the game. Bryant converted two free throws with 4.5 seconds remaining to give the Lakers a two point lead (85-83), but Derek Anderson hit a 22-foot jumper to force overtime. The Lakers scored the first seven points of overtime before holding on for the win. With game-highs in points (33), rebounds (14) and assists (12), Bryant tallied the fifth triple-double of his career. Devean George scored six of his career-high 25 points in overtime and also played a career-high 47 minutes. Portland was led by Derek Anderson who scored a team-high 24 points and Rasheed Wallace who registered 16 points, seven rebounds and five assists. LAKERS 92, Portland 84 Friday, February 21 – Rose Garden Game 54 (29-25) Welcoming Shaquille O’Neal back to the lineup Friday night, the Lakers extended their win streak to three games and grabbed sole possession of the eighth playoff spot with a 92-84 victory over the Portland Trailblazers at STAPLES Center. O’Neal, who had missed the previous three games due to a sore toe and knee, logged 44 minutes, scored 24 points and pulled down 12 rebounds in his return. Kobe Bryant again led the Lakers with 40 points, extending his streak of consecutive games scoring 40 or more points to eight. It was his twelfth consecutive game scoring 35 or more points. In addition, Bryant also tied his sea-son-high with five steals. Los Angeles, who held a seven-point lead at halftime, saw their lead quickly become a five-point deficit as Portland opened the third period on a 12-0 run. The Lakers trailed by one with just under four minutes remaining when Bryant hit a three-point jumper that sent Los Angeles on a 15-6 run to close the game. Portland was led by Bonzi Wells’ 25 points and Rasheed Wallace’s 23 points in the loss. Portland 101, LAKERS 99 Sunday, April 13 – The Rose Garden Game 80 (48-32) In a game with eight lead changes, all of which occurred in the final period, Rasheed Wallace’s three-pointer with 4.1 seconds proved to be the difference as the Lakers’ suffered a serious setback in their battle for playoff position with a 99-101 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers at The Rose Garden. Los Angeles used a 10-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to claim their first lead of the game at 82-81 with 7:05 remaining. Portland responded and extended their lead to four late in the period after Bonzi Wells knocked down a three-point jumper with 1:28 left in regulation. Kobe Bryant, who scored 32 of his 36 points in the second half, answered with a three-pointer of his own. Following two free-throws by Devean George putting the Lakers back up by one, Rasheed Wallace made a 16-foot turnaround jumper to give the Blazers a one point lead. Bryant, not to be out-done, knocked down a 21-foot jumper from the top of the key with 34.4 seconds. With the shot clock winding down, Damon Stoudamire missed a desperation 22-footer, but Dale Davis collected the rebound and Portland, swinging the ball around the top of the arc from right to left, found Wallace for the game winning three. Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal led Los Angeles in scoring with 36 points a piece but were the only two Lakers in double-figures. Wells led Portland with 29 points on 11-of-15 shooting from the field while Wallace added 21 points for the victorious Blazers. The Lakers split the season series with the Blazers 2-2.

O’Neal posted his 35th double-double of the season with 28 points and 13 rebounds while Kobe Bryant led all scorers with 34 points and 13 rebounds, his 22nd double-double this year. Derek Fisher (14) was the only other Laker to score in double-figures as the team shot a mere .385 from the field. Sacramento, who led by as many as 15 points in the second quarter, saw their lead cut to three at half and actually trailed by two heading into the fourth quarter. The final period was a seesaw battle until Chris Webber’s two free-throws with 4:02 remaining put the Kings up by one and ultimately for good. Webber led the Kings with 26 points and 11 rebounds while Peja Stojakovic (23 points) and Mike Bibby (19 points) came up big for the Kings down the stretch. Sacramento leads the season series 2-1. LAKERS 117, Sacramento 104 Thursday, April 10 – STAPLES Center Game 79 (48-31) With five-game winning streaks on the line for both teams, Los Angeles came out with theirs still in tact, winning for the sixth straight time and extending their unbeaten streak to 14 games at home as the Lakers defeated the Sacramento Kings 117-104 at STAPLES Center. Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 34 points, grabbed seven rebounds and handed out six assists while Shaquille O’Neal posted his 44th double-double of the season with 32 points and 16 rebounds, continuing the Lakers impres-sive march towards the postseason.

LAKERS vs. SPURS 2002-03 REVIEW

Spurs 87, LAKERS 82 Tuesday, October 29 – STAPLES Center Game 1 (0-1) Trailing by three points heading into the fourth quarter, the Lakers were unable to mount a comeback and dropped their first season opener in 11 years, losing 82-87 to the San Antonio Spurs at STAPLES Center. San Antonio used a 17-6 fourth quar-ter run to take its biggest lead of the game (10) with 3:38 to play. Los Angeles pulled to within six and had two chances to cut the lead but a blocked shot and turnover sealed the Spurs victory. Kobe Bryant posted a double-double in the loss, leading all scorers with 27 points and 10 rebounds. The Spurs were led by a balanced team attack and had three players post double-doubles: Malik Rose (16 points, 10 rebounds), Tim Duncan (14 points and 10 rebounds) and David Robinson (13 points and 10 rebounds). The short-handed Lakers minus starters Shaquille O’Neal and Rick Fox struggled on offense, shooting a mere .318 from the field but stayed close by holding the Spurs to just .366 shooting from the field. Devean George (10) and Stani-slav Medvedenko (11) were the only other Lakers in double figures scoring while Samaki Walker pulled down 10 rebounds and scored seven points. This was the Lakers first opening night loss since a November 1, 1991 loss at Houston. The defeat also ended a 15-game regular season home winning streak dating back to February 19, 2002 versus Boston. Spurs 95, LAKERS 88 Wednesday, November 20 – SBC Center Game 12 (3-9) The Lakers squandered a three-point fourth quarter lead and were defeated 95-88 in their first trip to San Antonio’s SBC Cen-ter. Los Angeles led for most of the first half and was up 70-67 to start the fourth quarter, but the Spurs went on a 22-8 run to take an 11-point lead (78-89). The run was keyed by Stephen Jackson who scored 11 of his career-high 28 points in the final period. Jackson converted eight-of-10 three-pointers to set an individual opponent’s high against the Lakers. Los Angeles was led by Kobe Bryant who registered team-highs in points (24) and assists (seven) and also grabbed eight rebounds. Sa-maki Walkers grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds, while Rick Fox added 16 points and Robert Horry chipped in with 14. The Spurs were led by Jackson who tallied his 28 points in 29 minutes off of the bench and Tim Duncan who scored 16 points and tallied a game-high 18 rebounds. San Antonio 103, LAKERS 95 Friday, February 14 – STAPLES Center Game 50 (26-24) Despite Kobe Bryant’s eighth consecutive game with 35-plus points (44 points), the Lakers fell to the San Antonio Spurs Friday night 103-95 at STAPLES Center, snapping their seven-game win streak. The Spurs became the first team in NBA history to win seven straight games in one road trip by outscoring the Lakers by eight points in the third quarter, which also proved to be the final margin of victory. Bryant, who led all scorers with 44 points, had help from Shaquille O’Neal who tallied 21 points and six blocked shots. San Antonio was paced by Tim Duncan’s 28 point 20 rebound performance. Tony Parker added 24 points and six assists while Stephen Jackson continued his hot shooting against the Lakers, making 4-of-4 from three-point range en route to 16 points. Robert Horry came off the bench to tally team-highs in rebounds (15) and assists (6) for the Lakers in the loss. San Antonio 98, LAKERS 89 Sunday, March 23 – SBC Center Game 69 (39-30) Kobe Bryant (31) and Shaquille O’Neal (32) both recorded 30+ points but it was not enough as the Lakers fell victim to the San Antonio Spurs for the fourth time this season losing 98-89 at the SBC Center. After trailing by sixteen (69-53) entering the fourth quarter, the Lakers with the help of fifteen points from Bryant, managed to close to within five with 2:50 remaining in the game. The Spurs however would not let the Lakers get any closer as they went on to record the win, sweeping the season series with Los Angeles for the first time since the 1993-94 season. The Lakers were led by O’Neal’s 32 points (game-high) and twelve rebounds. The Spurs, who had six players finish the game in double-digits, were led by Tim Duncan’s 27 points and game-high 17 rebounds. The Lakers recorded a season-low 12 assists in the loss.

Jazz 93, LAKERS 85 Wednesday, December 4 – Delta Center Game 20 (7-13) Los Angeles was held to only 13 third quarter points and were defeated at the Delta Center by the Utah Jazz 93-85. The Lak-ers trailed 49-44 with 8:43 left in the third before the Jazz scored eight consecutive points and ran the lead to 13 (57-44). After that, the Lakers never cut the margin to less than four points and dropped their ninth road game of the season. Shaquille O’Neal led the Lakers with 23 points and grabbed a game-high-tying 15 rebounds in the loss. Kobe Bryant added 17 points, five rebounds and five assists. Utah was led by Karl Malone who tallied season-highs in points (29) and rebounds (15). Matt Harpring chipped in with 14 points and nine rebounds in 39 minutes. LAKERS 110, Jazz 101 Sunday, December 8 – STAPLES Center Game 22 (9-13) Kobe Bryant handed out a season-high 14 assists in leading the Lakers to a 110-101 win over the visiting Utah Jazz. Los Angeles led throughout the game and registered consecutive wins for only the third time this season. Bryant added 25 points and four rebounds. Shaquille O’Neal led all scorers with 32 points and also grabbed 11 rebounds for his sixth double-double of the season. The Jazz were led by Andrei Kirilenko who scored a career-high 30 points in 36 minutes off of the bench. Matt Harpring chipped in with 24 points and six rebounds. The Lakers converted at least 50% of their field goals (41-81) for only the fourth time this season and just the second time in consecutive games. LAKERS 99, Jazz 87 Saturday, February 1 – STAPLES Center Game 45 (22-23) Kobe Bryant tallied his second 40+point effort in his last three games in leading the Lakers to a 99-87 victory over the Utah Jazz at STAPLES Center.

Shaquille O’Neal added 21 points and 13 rebounds and Devean George chipped in with 10 points off of the bench. The Lakers held a 10-point lead at halftime (45-35) before Utah tied the contest at 56 with 4:48 remaining in the third quarter. Bryant hit a nine foot runner to give the Lakers the lead before Scott Padgett his a three-pointer to five Utah it’s first lead since the first quarter. The Lakers then went on a 15-5 run to take the lead for good. Utah never cut the lead to less than five points in the final period. The Jazz were led by Karl Malone who scored a team-high 26 points and added nine rebounds. LAKERS 93, Jazz 87 Wednesday, February 19 – Delta Center Game 53 (28-25) In the Lakers second game in as many nights, the Lakers traveled to Utah and defeated the Jazz 93-87 at the Delta Center. Coming off a double-overtime victory in which he scored 52 points the night before, Kobe Bryant continued his record scoring streak, pouring in 40 points on 15-of-29 shooting while pulling down a team-high six rebounds in 40 minutes of play. Los An-geles, playing their third straight game without center Shaquille O’Neal, got contributions from everyone. Derek Fisher scored 16 points and handed out a team-high four assists while the Lakers bench outscored the Jazz reserves 22-20. The Lakers held a six-point lead with 3:47 to play when Utah’s Karl Malone was hit with a personal foul and then a technical. The Lakers extended the lead to 83-74 with three free-throws and the Jazz never would get within five as Bryant added two more field goals down the stretch, scoring 11 of Los Angeles’s final 17 points. Karl Malone (25 points) and Matt Harpring (21 points) carried the scoring load for the Jazz while John Stockton scored 15 points and handed out a game-high seven assists in the loss.
