Dwight make his Lakers Debut with A Lost

It might have taken The Dwight Howard Era of Los Angeles Lakers basketball a little while to get off the ground, but it appears it was well worth the wait.

Howard played his first game as a Laker in Sunday's 99-92 loss to the Sacramento Kings, nearly six months to the day after undergoing major back surgery to repair a herniated disk. It was barely noticeable that Howard had ever been out as he filled up the box score with 19 points on 8-for-12 shooting, 12 rebounds, four blocks and two assists while playing 33 minutes.
