Yeah I know it's only November, but the two BEST teams will collide Sunday evening in Los Angeles.
Here is the scoop:
So far, the Lakers' future Hall-of-Fame quartet of Shaquille O'Neal, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant and Gary Payton has lived up to its considerable preseason billing. In the front court, O'Neal is averaging 20.9 points and 11.2 rebounds, while Malone is adding 15.2 points and 10.5 rebounds. In the backcourt, Bryant leads the Lakers with 22.5 points per game and Payton is pitching in 14.7 points and 6.6 assists.
This game kicks off a five-game roadtrip through the Western Conference for the Pacers, who will also play Phoenix (Dec. 1), Portland (Dec. 3), Seattle (Dec. 5) and Sacramento (Dec. 7) before returning home on Dec. 9 to face the Washington Wizards.
The Pacers come into Sunday's game riding an eight game winning streak and a seven game road winning streak.
Something will have to give...
An UPSET!
Pacers 98
Lakers 92
