The Lakers gave us all a scare by letting this series drag on to seven games, however when Kobe Bryant is playing then that fear goes away. The funny part is everyone thought Kobe would come out a light it up, but he only had a Meier 14 points, and grabbed 7 rebounds. However, his presence on the floor had a greater impact.
The 7 foot tag team of Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum paid great dividend because Houston had no answer for them. Gasol dominated the game from start to finish on the offensive end, while Bynum showed how his inside presence can be deadly. Gasol and Bynum combined for 36 points, 24 rebounds and five blocks.
LA as a team wasn't even at their best offensively scoring 89 points
(their lowest in a win this post-season). But they didn't need offense yesterday as everyone predicts since their defense was almost spectacular. As a team they managed 10 blocks, forcing 17 turnovers. LA held Houston to 70 points which was their lowest this post-season.Domination! I think so.
If this doesn't prove how good the Lakers are and can be, I don't know what else will. Their determination is undeniable. Everyone is hungry and putting more than enough effort to accomplish their main goal.
Whoever thinks because Denver is on fire, they'll win this series, think again. This may be the second best series of this entire post-season if both teams come out and give it their all, which they'll do.
