The win brought back the Spurs into the Western Conference finals series, 2-1 after losing 2 contrasting defeats at Staples Center. Game 1 saw the Spurs faltering in the final period to succumb, 89-85 but not after blowing a 20-point advantage in the 3rd quarter. A lackadaisical performance by the Spurs in game 2 saw the Lakers running away with a 30-point win, 101-71.
Game 4 is set on Tuesday night (Wednesday morning Manila time) also at the AT&T Center in the kingdom of the Spurs, with the defending champs eyeing the equalizer and sending back the series to square one. Manu Ginobili starred for the Spurs in game 3 and made up for his so-so performance in the first two games.
To those who had given up on the Spurs, "NEVER EVER UNDERESTIMATE THE HEART OF A CHAMPION!"
He always does. Stepping up in times like this has always been a part of his game.
ReplyDeleteTonight will be one of those famous night Manu glorious career in the NBA.
But the series is far from over. Spurs must win game 3 or else they might go bust.
They also must know that they can't afford to relax in Game 4 just because of home court advantage. Every win must be earned.
I feel the Lakers will give the big push that the defending Champions never had last year.
Anyway, your thoughts on the game. Would really love to hear them...
