It's
easy to think that any high-scorer question involving the current Hawks roster
would elicit a Joe Johnson answer. Many times, that will be the case. However,
today is not one of those days. The answer to which current Hawk has scored the
most in a single game against the Lakers is Lorenzen Wright, who once
torched the Lakers for 32 points and 15 rebounds on Dec. 26, 1997 as a member of
the LA Clippers.
Joe Johnson was another popular answer, and while he has done well
against the Lakers (he poured in 30 earlier this season when the teams met in
LA), he fell a basket shy of his teammate. Other high scorers against the Lakers
are Josh Childress with 21, Speedy Claxton with 22, and Josh
Smith with 21 as well.
Congrats to David R., who wins tickets to tonight's Lakers game.
Here's to hoping Wright can duplicate that feat again in a winning effort!
