Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, Pau Gasol saw that Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum were in street clothes, and evidently decided to put it all on his back, with 21 points, 19 boards, 8 assists, 5 steals, and a block. The Lakers have a schedule that’s well suited for injury recovery, playing only 3 times in the next two weeks. So Pau may not get too much ongoing benefit from the depleted corps.
