Halftime: Warriors 52, Lakers 48

Golden State's Stephen Jackson picked up five fouls and a technical in the game's first 9 minutes, 20 seconds. Otherwise, it was a forgettable first half. Monta Ellis led the Warriors with 16 points. Kobe Bryant had 12 points and Andrew Bynum added 10 for the Lakers. Sadly, the Forum was not sold out for the Lakers' return. The crowd was lively, but appeared to be only about two-thirds of the 17,000-seat capacity.
