Good play so far. We're keeping it close. I'm pretty surprised since the Lakers are without both Odom AND Kwame Brown. We really don't have anyone to stop Tim Duncan. To be honest with you, I definetly didn't see the Lakers keeping the game so close, especially with Kobe getting into foul trouble in the 1st quarter.
Holy crap, Kobe just added a Tim Duncan facial to his collection. 59-57 Lakers. Edit- Kobe got a lob pass and dunked on Duncan again. He's got 24.
Oh goodness, Horry had the biggest blocking foul I've seen this year. I'm amazed it went against Walton.
Beginning of the 4th quarter. Mo Evans dribbles to much, turns the ball over. Robert Horry checks in for Bruce Bowen. Turiaf fouls Duncan. Jordan Farmar forces the turnover.
Radman misses the step back two. Robert Horry misses the three, short. Evans with the rebound. Turiaf misses the turnaround jumper as the clock was expiring. Mo Evans bats away the ball out of bounds.
Duncan hits the jumper, Lakers up by 1. Sasha is fouled on the three attempt, fouled by Brent Barry. Sasha hits the first, the second, and the third. Bynum checks in for Turiaf. Lakers up 77-73. Kobe Bryant is still on the bench. If we can hold this lead for awhile, that'll be good. Brent Barry misses the three, long rebound to Duncan. Udrich (sp) misses the three. RADAMAN FOR THE DUNK!
Bynum just picked up his 5th foul, terrible foul call. Duncan elbowed him in the face. We've got a time out. Radman looked like Kobe on that dunk.
Radman alters Finley's shot. Lakers turn the ball over out of bounds, they're up 79-73. Duncan shoots an air ball, beautiful D by Cook. Kobe stutter steps, gets by Bowen, gets the foul, but misses the wide open layup. Kobe makes both free throws, Lakers up by 8 with 8 to play. Bowen air balls the wide open three. Mo Evans misses the mid range jumper. Cook forces the turnover on defense, Kobe drives, but misses the finger roll. Finley turns the ball over, Cook with the dunk from Kobe! Lakers are on an 18-2 run, up by 10 with 6:58 to go!
Bowen misses the runner terribly, Kobe taps it out of bounds. Spurs have two seconds on the shot clock, Manu misses a layup. Smush turns the ball over. Manu gets fouled on the floor. He should've been given and and 1. Bowen misses inside, again but is fouled by Cook. The Lakers are out of team fouls. Bowen makes both the free throws. Lakers up by 8. Parker flops, thank god they didn't call the foul. Parker fouls Smush. Brian Cook with the loose ball foul on Manu Ginobili. Manu is going to the line for two. Manu looks like he smells all the time. Ginobili hits both the free throws. Lead down to six. Kobe hits the pull up over Duncan! 85-77. Kobe has 30 points, 7 assists, and 6 boards. Radman gets the steal, but the Lakers turn it over. Radman is playing awesome.
Smush Parker hits his first basket of the game, a three! Lakers up 88-79. Duncan hits the floater off the glass. Talk about traveling. Luke Walton is whistled for the offensive foul. Terrible play Walton, could you make that any more obvious? If you're going to use your left arm as a push off, disguise it. Smush Parker is called for the reach on T-Pizzle. Parker's at the line for two. He hits them both. Lakers up by 5. SMUSH HITS THE BEAUTIFUL TEAR DROP!!!
Tony Pizzle hits the pull up jumper. Manu steals the pass, stupid pass by Kobe. The Lakers only lead by 3 after the layup. Kobe turns the ball over, losing the grip on the ball as he goes up. Mo Evans fouls Manu. At the line, Manu brings the Spurs within one, 90-89. Bynum checks into the game.
