The New Finisher!

The Lakers got it. This series is definitely over now.

This was the most important game of the series, and the Magic obviously couldn't close it out. Once again they shot the ball well, and still loss the game.

The Magic had this game though, in many occasions. They were down by 12 at half, and in the 4th by 5 with about 30 seconds left. But they never settled for a loss, they kept attacking because they knew it wasn't over.

Finally, Fisher does what I always begged him to do. Hit those threes. And they weren't just any shots, he hit two three's that really changed the complex of the game. The first was in the 4th quarter, with 11 seconds left, when I thought Orlando slipped away again, taking this game. I guess Fisher wanted to shut me up, because he just came down the court and popped a three in Jameer Nelson's face, which ultimately led to the game heading into overtime. If that wasn't enough, in OT he banged a wide open three which ultimately ended the game in the Lakers favor.

But that's what Kobe needed, just a little help. He kept the Lakers in the game throughout the first half, but he knew the only way the Lakers would win, is if he had some help from his teammates.

Luckily he got it, and in the nick of time I might add. Trevor Ariza came into the third and basically pulled LA back into the game. He was hitting shots that didn't make sense, like a three with two hands in his face and the shot clock winding down.

But if I was Orlando I would start packing my bags because it's no way you guys are winning three straight against these Lakers, especially back-to-back in LA. They have no type of rhythm or structure to their game. Even with the lead throughout the game, all they kept doing was shooting threes, which they weren't hitting towards the end. They don't know how to close out games, or have a singke player who can close it out themselves, like a Kobe Bryant.

I keep telling you guys, that Orlando isn't ready to be here. Their inexperience is really what is being highlighted, because it looks like they have no confidence down the stretch. They buckle under pressure late in games which LA capitalizes on. So like game 4, game 5 will be the same, but this victory will mark LA's 15th championship.

Another difficult, but hard fought win. Bring it home LA.
