epic game Sunday night. The Lakers managed to overcome a bad game in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, to take one of the best and most warlike victories of the season against the Portland Trail Blazers, which were crowned by the Pacific Division champions for the fourth consecutive year and secured their playoff berth 2011. The meeting was fraught with emotions of all kinds. The Lakers rebounded, defended and no samples gave no idea of \u200b\u200bthe game in attack. Appeared to have reached the stage. To make matters worse, Nate McMillan of basket for all, led by a enchufadÃsimo Nicolas Batum (25 pts, 10/16 CT) and LaMarcus Aldridge (18 pts and 6 rebs), which gave much
or work Pau Gasol in the paint. The Lakers felt more than ever, the absence of Andrew Bynum , who is serving a two-game suspension for flagrant foul-2 made it to Michael Beasly Friday. The Lakers ended up losing 35-45 in rebounds, but again were able to find this around despite falling into that category.
The key was the attitude. Only the bank fell short of the circumstances, led by Matt Barnes (7 pts, 3 rebs and 3 steals), who ended the third quarter with a three-pointer from midcourt at the buzzer. Lamar Odom too, although from the starting lineup in place of Drew, was the other on, finishing with 16 pts, 11 rebs and 6 asists in a game that kept him awake in the second half against Batum, as expected. For his part, Steve Blake (4 asists) and Shannon Brown (7 pts) also providing his own, with drive and good pace. The problem was
Kobe Bryant, who did not stand with ball, missing over 60% of his shots in the first half, unable to reconcile with the defense. He and Gasol were missing, until it was
last period. After Barnes seater, the stadium is raised, and the Blazers started it all a little more complicated. Phil Jackson those began changing attitudes towards the middle of 4th quarter, just a lack of 5 ½ minutes. That's when Bryant appeared and led his people to victory with 10 pts in that period, ending with 22 pts, 4 rebs and 3 asists, plus a key steal in a counterattack that ended with a dunk, so that the Staples operates.
also appeared Derek Fisher with a great defense (a key steal with two minutes) and a total of 8 pts and 3 asists. After a seater of Batumi to narrow the advantage of the harriers at the minimum, D-Fish stuck the dagger that finally sealed the match in the absence of 10 seconds to go. Prior to that, there was an excellent shot of Kobe fade away, they shouted and screamed wildly celebrated by the fans for the big time team in the game.
The Lakers looked like c
ampeones at the right time, demonstrating that it is never too late to change the attitude, even if you are not playing anything. A sample delivery, worth and courage, and a coolness that even a team as seasoned as the Blazers were subjected. Kobe, with one foot, and just when I wanted off by counter was Kobe, and led his people to victory. Meanwhile, Gasol finished with 14 pts, 13 rebs and 2 lids, blending well with Bryant at the end of the match, although it was very hard to stop the increasingly well Aldridge.
A great victory, to extend the streak to four in a row, with the best possible way Playoffs. On Tuesday, even without Bynum, have been Suns, also in LA.
