Lakers Win

Front line played well with Gasol and surprisingly Bynum playing better than they have throughout the series. Ariza and Fisher hit shots early which helped. Kobe, after Spike Lee's incredible show about him last night, played relatively tame today. I surely thought he would come out and take 60 shots.

The Rockets were stifled on the Pick and Roll and really didn't get many good shots throughout the game. I think Jeff Van Gundy was correct with his assessment of the lack of a lowpost player to drop the ball into. The Rockets just seemed to be probing around the perimeter looking for jumpshots.

Still got to be on record as saying the Lakers will beat the Nuggetts. As an old coach of mine use to say, "don't rely on unreliables", which the Denver team is filled with!
