Los Angeles Lakers win second straight and wait for word from Phil Jackson
If Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and the Los Angeles Lakers #39; legion of fans get their wish, Bernie Bickerstaff #39;s stint as a lame-duck interim head coach will end undefeated. Howard had 23 points and 18 rebounds, Bryant scored 20, and the in-transition Lakers continued warming up for a possible return to the bench by Phil Jackson with a 103-90 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night. Bickerstaff called the shots for the second straight game following the firing of Mike Brown on Friday with the team off to a 1-4 start -- their worst in 19 years. They throttled the Warriors 101-77 at Staples Center several hours after the change. "Basically what we talked about this morning was the profound appreciation of their professionalism and how they have handled things," Bickerstaff said. Lakers executive vice president Jim Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak remain in negotiations with Jackson, whom they are trying to coax out of retirement for what would be his third coaching stint with the organization. "I #39;d be excited to have him out there," Bryant said. "I #39;m sure something will happen sooner than later. I mean, this organization moves pretty quickly once they have a direction on where they want to go and they always makes the right decision. For us players, we just go out there and do our jobs. It isn #39;t anything that #39;s been a distraction for us, but it #39;s just been a long week for everybody."From:mastercreator1000Views:8 0ratingsTime:01:36More inPeople Blogs
