Tried and true

“Disappointing obviously and our backs are against the wall once again when we gave ourselves a touch of breathing room,” Steve Nash said after L.A.’s 109-103 loss to the Warriors in game they trailed by 23 at halftime. “Now we really got to fight and things aren’t looking good in terms of our rhythm is a little off, morale is a little down, guys are banged up and we got to really fight now.”

They also have to fight against in-fighting, it would appear.

First, there’s the tried and true Kobe Bryant vs. Dwight Howard score to settle.

Howard has just 17 shots total in his last two games, connecting on 12 of them (70.1 percent). Bryant has 45 attempts in those two games, making 19 (42.2 percent).

“I don’t even want to talk about it,” Howard said after the Warriors game. “We have to figure out what we need to do to play. If you want to win games, you have to play the right way.”

Howard has just three shots total in the fourth quarters of the five losses L.A. has in the month of March.

Bryant spoke up in Golden State, saying that they need to feature Howard more.

“I think he’s playing phenomenal,” Bryant said. “We have to figure out a way to get him some more looks down low though. I tried to step back as much as I possibly could and allow that to develop. He was in foul trouble and all of the sudden it’s a 19-point game and we can’t sit around much longer. But we got to figure that balance out.”
