Pre-Game Ramble: Lakers vs. Pacers

The Lakers split last season's series with the Pacers 1-1 for the tthird consecutive year. The Lakers have never lost to the Pacers at Staples Center snd have won their last seven in a row at home against Indiana. In their last meeting at Staples Center in January of 2006, Kobe Bryant scored a series record of 45 points against the Pacers, surpassing Magic Johnson's old record of 40 established against Indiana back on February 13, 1987. Both Bryant and Jermaine O'Neal entered the NBA straight from high school prior to the 1996- 97 season after both playing in the McDonald's All-American game.
