The Lakers lost their first playoff game

Los Angeles Lakers have lost their first game of these playoffs. The seventh was a charm and Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City, took victory in an amazing game so far gone from Carlos Boozer. 104-99.

We had a few days without catching up in terms of the NBA playoffs is concerned and this could not continue. And even less when the Lakers lost. After conceding a 2-0 in Los Angeles, Utah Jazz came home to try to match the tie in the next two games. And the first goal is accomplished, and have put the tie 2-1.

Carlos Boozer had been missing the first two games and said to himself that this could not continue. "I tried to stop thinking too far into the game. My teammates were waiting for a good match for me, "Carlos Boozer said after scoring 27 points and captured 20 rebounds (crazy!).

Mehmet Okur and Deron Williams scored 22 and 18 points respectively, the latter with 12 assists as a gift. The Jazz defense was the key point of the game: the Lakers lost a whopping figure of 18 boards (5 of them by Pau Gasol, who was not a good performance with 12 points and 6 rebounds). The best Lakers was, as always, Kobe Bryant, who scored 34 points with 7 assists and 6 rebounds.

The next match will also be in Utah before returning to Los Angeles. If the Lakers scored a victory would have everything going for it to wrap up the series in game five, but this must improve: "We could have lost to anyone playing in this way," said Lamar Odom (13 points and 12 rebounds), "This team is good enough to lose to them and we have to play our best in every game."

You know, Odom, mentalizaos for the next game and for them. Take the Lakers to glory.
