Shaq gets revenge on Kobe, Suns beat Lakers 118-111
Last Thursday Shaquille O'Neal returned to Los Angeles where he and the Phoenix Suns were defeated by Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers, tonight the Diesel got his revenge.
The Suns beat the Lakers 118-111 in Phoenix this afternoon. O'Neal lead the Suns in scoring with 33 points and 7 rebounds. This was the second straight game that the Suns were able to get a win without two-time former MVP Steve Nash and All-Star Amare Stoudemire.
"It's what I do," O'Neal said. "I've been doing it since 1992. If you don't believe it, Google me."
Bryant was the leading scorer for the game with 49 points, he also was able to pull-down 11 rebounds.
"We're going through a period right now where everybody is just kind of tired a little bit," Bryant said.
This was an impressive win for the Suns. Currently Phoenix is in the 9th seed in the Western Conference, two games out of a playoff spot. This was a big win beating arguably the best team in the league. If the Suns are able to continue this great play behind O'Neal the Suns might be able to sneak into the playoffs and make some noise.
