The Chicago Bulls certainly wished they had called Shannon Brown for their team after watching his stunning performance with the L.A. Lakers last night.

The Lakers followed his inspiring determination to win their fifth straight victory in a row. There were many talented players that gave it their all during this game, but in the end, the efforts of the L.A. players resulted in victory.

Brown seems to be really coming into his own, which is evident with how quickly he falls into the groove of working with his new team. Operating closely with team leader in points and assist Kobe Bryant (20 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assist and 4 turnovers), Brown was able to set the mood for this game. Having found more confidence with L.A., Shannon is starting to push his game to new limits. He hit 5 3-pointers in this game, drove to the basket with determination, gave solid jumpers and shot when it felt right. Brown was good for 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assist, while Lamar Odom had 21 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assist. All in all, L.A. is flowing more smoothly as a team. “The more games we have like this, the more we understand how to play off each other,” is the way Kobe put it. Standing tall on top of the Pacific division with a 13-2 record, the Lakers just might make it to the championship again this year. Basketball scores.

Derrick Rose [30 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assist] and the Bulls gave it their best shot, but that was not enough to beat the inspired Lakers. Perhaps when the time comes, they will grab hold of star player Brown. Still, that might be after he gets a championship ring with the Lakers.
