Gasol, Young propel Lakers past Warriors 102-95 By GREG BEACHAM (AP Sports Writer) LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Pau Gasol and Nick Young did a remarkable job keeping the Los Angeles Lakers together without their two injured stars. Gasol comes through in Lakers win over Warriors The SportsXchange Lakers 102, Warriors 95 The SportsXchange Warriors vs. Lakers results: Lakers defeat shorthanded Warriors, 102-95 SB Nation Warriors visit Staples Center looking for rebound win Comcast SportsNet Bay Area Warriors-Lakers Preview The Associated Press The Golden State Warriors had better take notes, because their injury problems just got worse. Gasol had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Young scored 14 of his 21 points in the second half, and the Lakers took advantage of Stephen Currys absence for a 102-95 victory over Golden State on Friday night. Jordan Farmar and Steve Blake scored 14 points apiece as Los Angeles returned from four days off to win consecutive games for the first time all season. Jordan Hill added 10 points and nine rebounds as the Lakers clicked even without Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash, hitting 11 3-pointers and outworking the prolific Warriors down the stretch. Los Angeles calmly maintained a big lead throughout the fourth quarter of its 11th straight home win over its upstate rival since March 2008. Were finally finding some consistency, Gasol said. Were finally putting good efforts mentally and physically together. Gasol had a big offensive game at an opportune time: The Spanish 7-footer pledged $1,000 for every point he scored against the Warriors to UNICEF disaster relief in the Philippines. Gasol acknowledged thinking about his pledge with every basket, and he began the evening with another concern after hearing news of his brother Marcs sprained left knee in Memphis. I had too many things on my mind, Gasol said. I definitely had that motivation of scoring tonight for the Philippines. Once I started knocking down those outside shots, it opened things up for me. sports.yahoo/news/gasol-young-propel-lakers-past-060839854--nba.html CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LA LAKERS AND MANY THANKS TO PAU GASOL!!
