Jordan ties career high in points in big win over Mavs
It has been building, finally reaching a career moment for Jordan Farmar.
His minutes had increased over the last two games with the Lakers. His production was better in those games. His coach even seemed to have more faith in him in those games.
Then came the third consecutive game in which Farmar continued his stretch of impressive play, his 24 points that tied his career high another shining moment for the fourth-year guard during the Lakers’ 131-96 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night at Staples Center.
“That’s what I’ve been working for. I’ve been trying to get more opportunities,” Farmar said. “And when I get the chance, I have to play well. I did it tonight and I have to earn more. That’s what I’ve been working toward my whole career. I’m just trying to stay patient, wait my turn and when those opportunities come, be ready to capitalize.”
