- Derek Fisher is very quietly having a pretty damn good Finals series. He's averaging 10 points on 50% shooting from both the field and the 3 point line.
- Kobe just didn't come through. He wanted it so bad that he could shoot straight. He had the worst 31 point game a player can have. Took too many shots, was way too cold in the second half and missed free throws and an open layup that would have tied the game. The ghost of Nick Anderson was haunting Kobe of all people.
- That said, Orlando played as good a game as they're going to play in the Finals. They shot an astounding 62.5% from the field and still only won by 4. Think about that. They almost lost a game where they shot more than 60%. I expect the Lakers to clamp down better on defense in Game 4 and pull it out. Of course, I always expect the Lakers to win, so I may not be the best predictor here.
