Game 1, Lakers at Magic
Kobe gets help, not enough
The Lakers opening game was an away game vs the Orlando Magic. The game started, and the Magic battled hard. The Lakers seemed to be a bit slow, espically Derek Fisher, who had trouble keeping up with Jameer Nelson for most of the game. Derek Fisher got into trouble early on, and it was up to Laker's rookie Javaris Crittenton to contain Jameer Nelson, who started hot. He susprised many, both with his mistakes and moves. He got to the hole lots and got Nelson in early foul trouble.
