A Nice Run
by Alex Gross

Earlier this week, Derek spoke about the amazing possibilities that the Lakers have this season, and Sunday night, they took a step toward realizing them.

“I feel like as a team we have a great opportunity.” Derek told the Los Angeles Times. “I feel like individually I can help the team take advantage of the opportunity.”

No. 2 ended the night with 9 points and 3 rebounds in limited minutes.

The Lakers face off against the Charlotte Bobcats in San Diego. The Bobcats are winless in the pre-season so far, and their chances of netting their first win against the streaking majority pick for Western Conference Champion probably doesn’t look that great.
