Kobe was just toying with the Spurs all these time

That was an epic choke by the Spurs. Though Kobe did work down the stretch.

Anyway good game by LA. Officials didn't help the Spurs any but SA lost that 20 point lead very quickly for me to blame anyone but them. Terrible play from Manu and the role players. Duncan did all he could. Parker was effective but absolutely nobody else was for SA.

Kobe turned it on in second half. This was all him tonight. Creating for his teammates and making big shots.

Wow, what a f'ing game.

Yet another game-winner by Kobe.

This is what the Spurs have done all year. They've constantly collapsed in the 2nd half of games. They did it in the regular season, they did it three times against the Hornets. Maybe its because they are old. I dunno why.

If you blow a 20 point lead you shouldn't be allowed to whine about foul calls.

Badly blown quality oppurtunity by the Spurs - simple as that

Horribly missed call on the Duncan rebound under the basket late, no doubt Gasol knocked it out

Vujacic and the Lakers definitely defended Ginobili well

Stellar win for the Lakers

What a beautiful push off by Kobe on Bowen. He's like Jordan.....minus that talent.

Man, that was just NASTY pwnage of Manu by Kobe. Bad ass behind the back dribble, pump faked Manu into the Pacific, score.

Good win by the Show.

No way this is on the refs. You don't blow 20 pts leads in the playoffs if you're a championship team. That's ridiculous. I'd be pissed if I were Pops.

Parker kind of disappeared in the 2nd half, in the first he was controlling the tempo and the Spurs offense.

What a win by the lakers. The spurs blew the game open and choked it away in the same quarter. They'd better be motivated for game 2.
