SPURS FALL BEHIND IN 4TH FOR LAKERS VICTORY
SAN ANTONIO SPURS at LOS ANGELES LAKERS
DATE: November 5th, 7:30 P.M.
LOCATION: Staples Center
Timmy D got the tip, but within seconds, it was Lakers ball due to a turnover. the game started quick paced, but early on, Ginobili was taken off the court because we wasn't guarding his man, Kobe Bryant, who hit back to back triples. Turnover after turnover. the Lakers easily took the lead. Later, a Brent Barry 3-Pointer got the Spurs ahead with an 8-0 run. Laker soon took over. Including a Chucky Atkins triple at the buzzer, to give the Lakers a 31-23 1st quater lead.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Spurs started to slowly comeback scoring in large number while Lakers scoring little numbers. Manu went hot in the second quarter. In the last 2 mins, the Lakers went on an 11-2 run. Then, Ginobili stunned, in the last minute, he hit four 3-pointers and one lay-up. Finishing that run at 3.7 secs. With only 3.7 left, Beno Udrih stole the inbound pass from George. He went for a lay-up but was goaltended. 2 points. Half-tiem score 53-47 for the Spurs. Ginobili had 19 points in the second quarter.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Lakers came out hot cutting the lead into 1, and eventually take a one point lead. The Spurs got very frustrated. The Lakers got a 10-0 run to take a three point lead. The Lakers took the third leading 69-64.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have NOTHING to say about the forth quarter, except for that the Spurs did a terrible job scoring. All of their 9 forth quarter points were made from free throws. Not a single feild goal. They lose by a large margin of 89-73.
