Watch NBA 2010 Playoffs 1st Round – Los Angeles Lakers vs Oklahoma City Thunder Live Stream
Western conference’s No. 1 seed Los Angeles Lakers will face No. 8 seed Oklahoma City Thunder for the 2010 NBA Playoffs first round.
LAKERS VS THUNDER PREVIEW
Two days of long practices and bonding over a steak dinner have the Los Angeles Lakers ready to defend their NBA championship.
They’ll begin Sunday against All-Star Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder, whose youth and speed the Lakers will counter with Kobe Bryant and experience.
Durant led the NBA in scoring with 30.1 points; Bryant was fourth-best with 27.0.
After stumbling through the end of the regular season, the Lakers are feeling good about themselves thanks to Bryant’s improved health and the return of Andrew Bynum.
Bryant sat out four of the final five games to rest a swollen right knee and a broken index finger on his right hand. He’s got a bum ankle, too. But he said the time off has revived him.
Bynum missed 13 straight games because of a strained right Achilles’ tendon. He said there was no pain or swelling after practice Saturday, and coach Phil Jackson said he hopes Bynum can play the game’s first eight minutes.
“They’ve got so many weapons, from the first man to the end of the bench,” Durant said. “It’s going to be tough.”
Bynum and Pau Gasol give the Lakers two 7-footers to patrol the paint, something Derek Fisher compared to “playing volleyball above everyone’s heads.”
The Lakers earned the top seed in the Western Conference with 57 wins. The Thunder claimed the eighth spot to earn their first postseason berth since moving from Seattle two years ago. (Source)
