The Los Angeles Lakers (45-20) are now tied with the Houston Rockets (45-20) for the top seed in the Western Conference Standings. The two teams will face off Sunday afternoon to battle for the top seed in the West. Tracy McGrady and crew have 21 consecutive victories and will try to make it 22 on Sunday. The Lakers are coming off of a 108-98 loss to the New Orleans Hornets. The Lakers couldn't overcome 27 points and 17 assists from Chris Paul.
The biggest story coming out of that game is Pau Gasol spraining his ankle. His status is unknown right now and most likely will not play on Sunday. This will now put the onus on Kobe to do more on offense.
Not only will this Sunday be the Lakers v.s. Rockets, but it will be Kobe v.s. T-Mac. Every time these two face off they put on a show.
This is must win for the Lakers and I expect them to win.
