Kobe Bryant practically willed the Los Angeles Lakers to victory over the sliding Portland Trailblazers to extend the Lakers' winning streak to 9 victories.The Lakers played ugly in the first half of the game but were able to recover on the second half, getting quality minutes from Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic and Ronnie Turiaf. The bench have contributed a lot to very impressive February the team is having-- The Lakers are 12-1 so far this month!
It makes we wonder if the Lakers have what it takes to stretch the streak to 10 against the suddenly revived Miami Heat. The Heat have just come from their biggest win of the season and are learning to play Shawn Marion and Dwayne Wade together. Can the Lakers pull it off?
