Lakers beat Wizards 97 - 87

The Lakers won again tonight in their final preseason game to improve their record to 6-2. I think this was a good example of what most games will probably look like for LA this season. Meaning that it will be a very competitive, close game throughout, and it's up to the Lakers to make defensive stops and runs at a certain period to lock down the victory. At times they looked great, building a 10 point lead around halftime, but they let the Wizards back in. Sure the Wizards are a very young,and athletic team but LA needs to do a better job of maintaining thier composure and the lead. Kobe had 19, and Lamar Odom had his best game of the preseason with 16 points. On to Tuesday and the start of the season at home against Denver. Should be a fun season, I hope.
