Hey sports fans! Well
baseball season is coming to a end, and I for one am sad to say that
the Angels did not win the wild card position... NEITHER DID THE
DODGERS!! So lets move on...
In basketball, the Lakers played
their exhibition opener on October 6th against the Golden State
Warriors in Fresno. On October 10th they played their second exhibition
game against the Portland Trailblazers right here in Ontario/Rancho
Cucamonga, at the Citizen’s Business Bank Arena. I was able to attend
his game, so let me tell you how it went. First off, they announced
that Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, and Jordan Hill would not be playing
that night. I was very disappointed, but I was still excited to be
there and got to see Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard when they came in at the end of
the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter the Lakers were
behind but with 4:43 left in the second quarter and the efforts of
Steve Nash and Metta World Peace, they were tied at thirty-four. The
Lakers were finally ahead, then at half the score was tied again at
forty-four. Two minutes into the fourth quarter the Lakers were down by
11 points. At the end of the game, the score was; Lakers seventy-five,
Trailblazers ninety-three. Even though the Lakers lost it was still a
very exciting game! ALSO, the Lakers can re-sign point guard Derek
Fisher. Now, some people might be wondering, “How can they re-sign
him?” Well... that’s because; One-he’s a free agent which means he can
sign with any team/any time and Two-his contract expired on June 30th
with the Houston Rockets.
For those who aren’t baseball or basketball fans, there’s always football.
