The Los Angeles Lakers won in double overtime lead by none other than superstar Kobe Bryant. This was a much needed win for the Lakers being that this could be a rematch set to take place in the playoffs. The Lakers needed this win just to boost the morale of a possible deep playoff run. One bad outcome was that there was an obvious cheap elbow shot from Metta World Peace that knocked James Harden out of the game. This could be a blessing in disguise if Artest is injured because it forced the Lakers to turn to young forward Devin Ebanks into heavy minutes. Ebanks displayed an a ability to guard Durant in the clutch and could become a formidable defender on the wing for LA in the playoffs. Ebanks was known for his tenacious defense at West Virginia and matches up better with the athletic small forwards at 6'9 than World Peace . Ebanks is a poor man's Trevor Ariza and could provide the defensive spark the Lakers need off the bench.
