The second quarter allowed another Laker to take flight.

This time, it was Andrew Bynum who got the Lakers off and running, allowing them to put on a clinic against the Denver Nuggets while helping L.A. roll to a 67-47 halftime cushion.

Bynum didn’t score in the first quarter. He didn’t even take a shot.

But in the second quarter, Bynum made all four of his shots, scoring nine points. Bynum finished the half with five assists and four rebounds.

Kobe Bryant continued his strong play, finishing with 18 points at the half.

The Lakers went up by as much as 27 points in the second quarter, making the game look easy and the competition inferior.
