was as if the Lakers had ever done to establish its stake in the game against the Miami Heat on Thursday night, because for many times was a good level but never concrete could finish consistency. This, by adding bad decisions in the end, were the keys that made the South Beach sweep the season series.
entire first half was closely contested with Kobe Bryant (24 pts, 4 / 8 triples) gaining prominence in the first quarter for the Lakers, and Chris Bosh (24 pts and 9 rebs; 10/17 CT) doing the same for the Heat in the second. Already in the second half, Andrew Bynum (13 pts, 12 rebs and 2 steals, 4 / 5 CT) appeared for the Lakers and began to give weight to the paint, which was being ravaged by Bosh. That's like Phil Jackson led began to take over the pace of the game: attacking in the domestic game.
However, it was not enough as the defense was not complete, so Dwayne Wade (20 pts, 5 rebs, 5 asists and 4 steals) and LeBron James (19 pts, 8 rebs asists and 9) were loaded his team on his shoulder in the fourth quarter to balance the balance, after the first half Ron Artest (9 pts, 9 rebs, 6 asists and 3 steals) and Matt Barnes they had defended very well.
Things remained at odds until the end, when Kobe Bryant wanted to be the hero again and lost two balls in different possessions that helped those of Erik Spoelstra stay away on the scoreboard. In addition, with the Lakers down by four points away unnecessarily launched a triple that ended the hopes of the two-time champs.
It is worth mentioning that the arbitrators failed to charges that determined the outcome in the final minute and a half, but if the Harriers have done better before, would not have mattered.
Miami did not play superbly, but he knew how to do things right in the end. Both teams could have won and would have been fair. The inmates of the Lakers played a half, with more claw Bynum who stood against the absence of Pau Gasol defense (20 pts and 5 rebs, 8 / 16 CT) and the weak performance of Lamar Odom (11 pts and 5 rebs.) The net difference was in the bouncing, in which the two-time were a joke, losing 39-46 in this key section.
As a lesson, one can say that the defeat is deserved to LA for Kobe individual game in the final again, which hopefully stop doing from now on.
Thus ended the winning streak of eight consecutive victories against a team that had lost five straight games. Luckily, the next opponent is the same Dallas Mavericks, who were trying to steal second in the West for quite some time.
