The Lakers conquer San Antonio

Los Angeles Lakers won last night and beat San Antonio Spurs 93-91. I go 3-1 in the series and not many teams have managed to make up that result.

I must admit I did not think the Lakers won their third match of the series. I was wrong. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers to victory in Texas and now have the NBA Finals one step. Pau Gasol is closer to achieving his dream.

Kobe Bryant scored 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. "It'sa big step for us." No wonder. One need only look out Nba.com and see the headline: "The Lakers put the Spurs on the ropes."

Duncan and his men must now win three consecutive games, which is unlikely after seeing the state of Manu Ginobili, who gives this series (less than two days ago he scored 30 points as the Spurs won). The Argentine personifies the thermometer in San Antonio. When it fails, everything collapses. There is something strange. The Spurs need to win points, as the good play of Tim Duncan is virtually certain (last night, 29 points and 17 rebounds for him, leading a series demonstrating extraordinary because he has not left the ideal team since entering the NBA ). Brent Barry tried to make Manu Ginobili, and nearly succeeds with 23 points but missed three times that would have given victory to the Spurs. It was a complex play, with arbitral controversy due to possible lack of Derek Fisher.

"Had I been the referee would not have blown," said Gregg Popovich, Spurs coach. Well, if you had not blown for you, not controversial.

Tony Parker also contributed 23 points, but these three were the only ones carburetor in San Antonio. As part of the Lakers, Pau Gasol scored 10 points and 10 rebounds and Lamar Odom scored 16 with 9 rebounds. Worse than San Antonio, will think. Yes, but other Lakers players contributed more than San Antonio.

The final 93-91 was present at the AT & T Center in the absence of 28 seconds left and facing the rollover hoop. The next match is in two days in Los Angeles and it seems that the Lakers will be victorious, even more if Manu Ginobili is still missing. Last night, his first points came late in the third quarter with some free throws.
