On March 7, 2010, the Church of Kobestan found its holy sacrament in a Lakers-Magic regular-season game. Sports goblin Matt Barnes was inbounding the ball on the right sideline.

Tonight, the Warriors became the second team in NBA history to win 70 games, as they comfortably held off the Spurs 112-101.
