Lakers shock Spurs

Spurs 85, Lakers 89

Los Angeles, May. 21. - Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers waited until the third quarter to get going. Once they did, the San Antonio Spurs couldn't stop them. And the defending NBA champions contributed to their own demise with a brutal, uncharacteristic fourth-period performance.
Bryant scored all but two of his 27 points after halftime, including a go-ahead, 10-foot jumper in the lane with 23.9 seconds remaining, and the Lakers rallied from a 20-point deficit to beat the Spurs 89-85 on Wednesday night in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.

It will be tough for anyone after that gruesome series against the Hornets.

It could have been anyone's bad game but unfortunately t just had to be Manu. I agree with you that all season he has been their best shooter.

Give them time, at least that's why I believe. They need to recover and regain their energy.

Remember, everyone written them off against the Suns, they won. Everyone written them against the Hornets, they won. So lets not judge them to soon shall we.

This is going to be just another classic playoff series.

Here is review on the game. Do please share your thought as well...
