It wasn't that Smush Parker, saying he knows Nash's tendencies from their three weeks as teammates, poked the ball loose to set up Kobe Bryant's high floater that sent Sunday's Game 4 into overtime. And it wasn't that the officials did not give him a foul call or Boris Diaw his pleas for a timeout when Nash was trapped and then tied up by Luke Walton, who later tipped the jump-ball toss to Bryant to set up his game-winner. It was that he made the three-point shot that put Phoenix ahead 98-95 with 49.8 seconds to go in overtime. Nash's frequently troublesome back tightened up after he sat out the final 2:34 of the third quarter and the first 2:15 of the fourth quarter with long television commercial time in between. "I wasn't the same after I got out at the end of the third," Nash said. "Maybe I sat out a little too long and it locked up on me. "I couldn't move like I wanted to. Once it tightens up, it doesn't really loosen."</div> Source
