Last night was marked by two very unusual events, one was the lunar eclipse around 10:30 pm (eastern) and the other was the showdown between Kobe and Shaq. A game NBA fans thought they will not see again this year since Shaq missed the first one (december 25th) when he was still in Miami. We were served by a high quality game, a great display of talents and skills worthy of highlights on ESPN. It wasn't a total Phoenix Suns eclipse though; the Lakers lead mostly during the whole game, but the Suns kept fighting back, they even lead by one point in the 4th quarter. Thats' when Kobe and Gasol took over to finish them off and spoiled Shaq's first game in Phoenix since the trade. The duo Kobe-Gasol is going to be unstoppable, they have a great chemistry, better than the tandem Kobe-Odom. The West is looking ridiculous right now, Kidd with Dallas, Shaq with Phoenix because of that San Antonio felt obliged to get some size and got Kurt Thomas.New Orleans is still flying under the radar, people tend to forget they have the best record in the West, Chris Paul also spoiled Kidd's debut with Dallas. With 30 games remaining in the regular season, it's everyone's game, any team at any point can take the lead of their division and get home court advantage. It's going to be a marathon and about who got the lungs and hearth to go all the way.
Final Score: Lakers 130 Suns 124
Funny moment of the game: Shaq elbowed Raja Bell his own teammate and left a huge bump of the size of the moon on the back of his head.
