The Lakers have finally found some balance – in the NBA standings anyway. For the first time since December (15-15), they find themselves with as many wins (30) as losses.

Well, it’s come down to this again.
If the Lakers want to stave off elimination on Monday at Oklahoma City, they must play a full 48-minutes of basketball, especially big man Pau Gasol who needs to step up and turn in a massive double-double performance.
After disposing of the defending champion Dallas Mavericks in a quick four games, the Oklahoma City Thunder got eight days rest as they prepare to host the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinal on Monday night at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The Lakers had been lacking a signature win in the first half of the year until last night.
