The fact that Andrew Bynum took a three pointer with 15 seconds on the shot clock early in the second half is bad -- that he doesn't understand that it's bad is worse.
Golden State came from 16 down to take their first lead with under two minutes remaining, but Kobe Bryant hit back to back baskets to regain the lead and give the Lakers the win.
Despite being down 14 late in the 3rd qtr, the Warriors fought hard and almost beat the Lakers. Links, postgame videos.
The Los Angeles Lakers look to get back on track Tuesday night as they head to Oakland to face the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena.
