AK was going to get burned, lucky he fouled Kobe on a non-shooting one. Kobe misses second shot, and Okur is going to the line since we are in the penalty.
Jesus christ another foul. The officials have ruined the flow of this game in the 2nd half. Everytime down there's a foul called on the play.
Bryant gets the ridiculously easy call on AK. Damn he needs to lay off some of the mustard on those between the leg dribbles. He hits the first and the second. 17-17.
Lakers need to get Gasol involved more on the offensive end and let him operate with Boozer out of the game.
Lamar hits both FTs. Millsap finishes on the inside. Sasha for two! Korver for three. Wide open. Kobe was trying to get the call. He doesn't get it. Brewer makes it a 4 point game.
Lakers need to run the offense through Gasol more with players cutting to the basket when the double team comes. Watching Kobe dribble while a triple team comes isn't going to get it done.
Offensive rebounds and bullshit foul calls are the only thing keeping Utah competitive. I think the Lakers are going to be dealing with crappy officiating the entire series especially in Utah, but limiting Utah's second chance opportunities is something we can control.
Fisher with tenacious play. The Lakers need to capitalize that was a big stop. AHHHH Kobe to hard man on the pass.
