How do you overcome a second half 20 point deficit? You go to your bench, step up your defense and give the ball to your clutch player. A few runs after that you are tied in the 4th quarter with two and half minutes left. The Lakers just didn't give up on the game. Farmar finally got over his poor performance in the series against Utah, he was super productive so was Vujacic. Bryant was a passer at the beginning of the game (only 2 pts in the first half) and started taking over by just being aggressive, San Antonio felt the grip of 'The Black Mamba' and his venomous shot. He finished with 27 points and 9 assists. Big props to The Lakers defense too, they shut down the lanes, stopping Parker's and Ginobili's penetration. Phil Jackson is such a master of the game, we call him the Zen Master. He kept his cool and trusted his bench when The Lakers were in need of energy and momentum. Los Angeles leads the series 1-0 and The Spurs are just devastated emotionally for losing this one. They better bounce back to make it a competitive series. Believe me I'm not high on my horses because last time I checked they were still the defending champs.
The Lakers also received good news today from New York where Center Andrew Bynum underwent a successful knee surgery. The procedure took 30 minutes and consisted of removing cartilage debris and smoothing some rough spots. He's expected to make a full recovery by the start of training camp.
