 NBA Pillow Talk |
Wow, what a game. On national TV, the Warriors just beat the Lakers in another fast-paced game filled with the intensity we have all gotten used to seeing from Golden State. They did not disappoint tonight. The 4th quarter was one for the ages. With Baron Davis carrying 5 fouls and Kobe Bryant with a pulled groin, the stars of each team had to find other ways to make it happen. Baron Davis did just that. He attacked the basket every time he had the ball, knowing that Bryant could not defend him, leading to open baskets for his teammates. And what about that 3 pointer Davis hit with 16 seconds to go? No one but Baron makes that shot!
But it could have all ended bad, even with Baron hitting that shot. Al Harrington made one of the biggest bonehead plays of the game when he fouled Lamar Odom with 6 seconds to go and with the Warriors up by 4. Odom was driving to the basket, and Harrington made a lazy attempt to swipe at the ball. Man, if you’re going to foul, foul the guy. Wrap him up, and don’t let him shoot. Instead, odom makes the basket and has a chance for a 3 point play to bring the Lakers within 1. Luckily, Odom is a 66% FT shooter and missed the shot. There was a brief, panic-filled scramble for the loose ball, which playmaker Monta Ellis basically stole from the Lakers. By the way, with Baron having 5 fouls for a large part of the second half, Ellis was the man and carried the Warriors. Props to him. And with that steal, the game was sealed. Beat LA!
