Von Jenkins's Dynasty Blog
(Los Angeles, CA) The NBA season has officially kicked off and fireworks erupted immediately. Von Jenkins left the Lakers to join the Thunder over the past offseason. The Lakers had their eye on game one of the 2012 season against none other than the Oklahoma City Thunder and Mr. Jenkins. From the start, you could tell this game would be Von versus Kobe. The first half was extremely close ending 46-46. Then, Kobe took over the game and the Lakers jumped out to a 67-57 lead with five minutes left in the third quarter. “Once we were down ten, I knew I needed to make a change,” explains Thunder coach Scott Brooks. That is when James Harden came off the bench and sparked a 17-0 run lasting into the 4th quarter. Harden went 3 for 3 from long distance.
For reasons we are unaware, Kobe sat the bench most of the fourth quarter. This seemed to be a break for the Thunder and Jenkins capitalized. “I’m glad we are starting the season off right with a W. My teammates played great and the Lakers are tremendous competitors,” Jenkins tells reporters.
The atmosphere was nothing short of electric at Staples Center. It will be very interesting to see how the Lakers respond in a couple weeks at Oklahoma City. One thing is for sure, they better find a way to contain Jenkins or he will have another sixty point night.
