Lakers 120, Nets 93

The Lakers scored a season-high 120 points behind 26 points from Pau Gasol. The real story of this was the Lakers utter dominance in the second half.

The Lakers led just 56-54 at the half, then came out of the locker room and absolutely dominated the Nets, outscoring them 64-39. That’s right, 64-39 in the second half.

“We came out of the locker room with a lot more focus,” Gasol said in a postgame interview. “I think we were much more solid in the second half.”
