If the Lakers needed a little rough-and-tough stuff to get ready to start winning on the road, maybe their cross-town rivals did them a favor.

The Lakers are 1-6 on the road this season and next visit Milwaukee on Saturday night. But they played with an edge against the Clippers—especially Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace.

Lakers notable players:

Kobe Bryant is the son of former Philadelphia 76ers player and current Los Angeles Sparks head coach Joe "JellyBean" Bryant. He rose to national prominence as he became the first guard to be drafted out of high school in league history. Bryant was ranked #59 on SLAM magazine's Top 75 NBA Players of all time in 2003.
Pau Gasol
(born July 6, 1980, in Barcelona , Spain) Paul Gasol Sáez is a 2.13 m (7'0") Spanish basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association.
On February 1, 2008, Gasol was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie, rights to Marc Gasol (coincidently Pau's younger brother), and 2008 and 2010 first round draft picks.
Andrew Bynum (Born Oct 27, 1887) Andrew Bynum is a legit 7 footer with great mobility. Offensively Andrew Bynum has a small but solid set of post moves, including a very effective baby hook. He is very good at backing down players into the low post and ending with a slam or short hook…Defensively, Bynum is a load in the paint. Although not a prolific shot blocker, Bynum is adept at altering shots and forcing teams to shoot the outside shot. However, he is yet to face a player his size, so his one on one defense has not been truly tested…With time he should develop into an excellent shot blocker…The thing to remember here is that players with his size and mobility are a rarity.
Luke Walton Luke Walton (born March 28, 1980 in San Diego, California) is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA. His position is small forward.
