The Los Angeles Lakers were back in action Tuesday night by taking on the Golden State Warriors. After feeling the effects of fatigue, especially coming off of Sunday’s loss, Kobe Bryant sat out the game in order to rest. Coming into the game, the Lakers were 8-19. Check out the highlights below:
First Quarter
Ed Davis has been active in helping LAL take a 13-11 lead, his fastbreak-trailing dunk giving him 4 points w/4 boards.

After that little frenzy, Lakers lead the Warriors 34-24 after one. Of course.

Third Quarter
The Lakers' big lead was chopped to 10. They needed a bucket. Their starting shooting guard buried a big 3. That guard…is Wayne Ellington.

Make that three triples for Price, who has 15 points, 7 assists and 3 steals. Lakers up, 91-70, with 2:40 remaining in the third.
