Score: LAL 112 SA 110
SWAGGY P! Enough said. The Lakers almost gave this one to the Spurs after playing so well, but credit to the defending champs for playing like champs down the stretch and it went down to the wire. Welp, looks like we're going to have to wait for Sunday for Kobe to surpass Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list. Stay tuned for the full recap.
Q4:
Score: LAL 101 SA 101
First overtime for the Q-by-Q posts. But just an unacceptable quarter by the Lakers. Both teams didn't really shoot well this quarter, but the Lakers just made too many errors as they were trying to pull away after Kobe made a hail Mary 3. Lucky Ginobili missed that first free throw or this game would've ever. Extra time, extra minutes for Kobe to surpass Jordan.
Q3:
Score: LAL 86 SA 75
The Spurs gave a scare this quarter as they have cut the lead countless times by a small margin as the Lakers were missing their shots. What do the Lakers do? They bring in Lin and Young off the bench to provide a little scoring boost to keep the Spurs honest. Lin continues to be aggressive and Young just continues to light up the night in San Antonio, he's got 22 points in the game. As for Kobe, will he get those 12 points to surpass Jordan in the 4th?
Q2:
Score: LAL 54 SA 50
Just an inspiring performance from the Lakers so far. From being down 10 in the 1st quarter to taking a 4 point lead, giving the defending champs a run for their money. Onto the halftime report.
Q1:
Score: LAL 25 SA 25
Good response by the Lakers mid-way through this quarter. When the Spurs got off to a 0-10 start, it looked like the Lakers were done for early on, but the Lakers responded back after a timeout. They generated 7 turnovers from the Spurs, uncharacteristic for the defending champs and Lin, Boozer, and Young provided the much needed spark to bring the Lakers back. I gotta say, that's a pretty ballsy move by Byron Scott the last few games, but it's working.
