We threw this one away. We started off rusty, with the Lakers jumping out 4-0 early, and while missing some shots, were running us up and down the court. We finally go on the board 3 1/2 minutes into the game with a free throw, and then used that to go on a run to take the lead 7-0 before the Lakers scored again. After that point, we spent most of the quarter just playing keep up. We did tie it up 25-25 with 13 seconds left when Kobe sank a extreme deep 3 at the buzzer to give the Lakers the lead.
The second quarter, the Lakers extended their lead early on. Kobe was just running all over us. Give him even the tiniest bit of space, he'll whip up and sink a 3 with ease. He was breaking the ankles of anyone trying to guard him, leading to multiple wide open shots. But we were to build up a lead and outscore the Lakers thanks to a couple of 3 point shots, as well as some well timed drives to the basket by some of our large guys to take to the locker room on top 47-45.
Start of the third quarter found us making the Lakers run, as we got a couple steals and forced a number of turnovers on the Lakers, with Ellis, Curry and Robinson all benefiting with our fast break offense, quickly sprinting down the court before the Lakers defense could regroup and getting penetration, easy layups, some dunks and drawing some fouls. We kept at it throughout the quarter and managed to extend our lead at the end of the quarter to 67-59.
Start of the fourth quarter found Kobe back on the floor and what a game changer. The Lakers quickly started chipping into our lead, thanks to Kobe and Fisher from mid-to-long range, and Gasol getting some easy jumpers in close. The last minute of the game was tense, as we held an 80-75 lead, before the Lakers went on a tear, sinking two 3 point shots and forcing a couple turnovers, giving them an 82-80 lead. We sank a 3 point shot to retake the lead, then forced a turnover with Robinson driving to the basket for the 85-82 lead. A quick 3 point shot by Kobe tied it up at 85-85 with 42 seconds left.
Ellis missed his shot attempt with 23 seconds remaining, the Lakers grabbing the rebound. On the way up the court, Curry was able to snag the ball loose from Fisher and went on a fast break, but ended up screwing up the layup, giving the Lakers the ball back with 6 seconds left and ticking. Before our defense could even react, who apparently was mentally preparing for overtime, Gasol drove towards half court and threw a baseball pass down court to Kobe, who released the uncontested jumper, the ball clearing his hands with only just 0.2 seconds left on the clock, finding nothing but net to give the Lakers the 87-85 win at the buzzer.
