What is the starting line up for the Los Angeles Lakers in game 5 at the staples center?
Lakers Repay Rockets With 40-Point Game 5 Blowout Early on in TNT’s telecast of the Lakers’ Game 5 win over the Rockets, the network showed a clip of an interview with Kobe Bryant. He was talking about the team’s humbling Game 4 defeat, and said something about it not mattering whether you lose by one or by 30, the point being, that a loss is a loss. Don’t believe a word of it. The Lakers remembered exactly what happened to them in Houston just two short days before, and repaid the Rockets for Game 4 with a dominant 40-point defeat in Game 5, by a score of 118-78 at Staples Center. Houston got out to an early seven-point lead, thanks to five quick points from Ron Artest, four from Chuck Hayes, and 0-for-1 shooting and two turnovers from Kobe Bryant. But that all came in the game’s first three and a half minutes. By the time the first quarter was through, Kobe Bryant had 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting, and Jordan Farmar hit a long three-pointer at the buzzer to put the Lakers up by 11. L.
