It was a real team effort... Trevor's expert and tenacious defense, Lamar's length to thwart inbound passes, Kobe's gritty lane driving, and Pau's breakaways dunks. But the one element that shone above the rest in this contest was the old-school three-bombs from Derek "Dagger in my Heart" Fisher.
With expert precision, and a countenance so cold and focused, Fisher drove two icicles into Mickey's chest: one to send the game into overtime, and the other to seal the win. A collective gasp and shudder emanated from the Magic Kingdom that evening, and I fear, it may be their last breath.

Jun 12, 2009 — ORLANDO, Fla. — Experience is the Los Angeles Lakers ’ calling card, their security blanket and, on nights like this, their protective sheen. It glistens on their fingertips when the air grows thick and nerves become raw. As Thursday night gave way to early Friday morning, it finally separated them from the feisty, swaggering Orlando

One of the announcers on ESPN said after the game, "You don't miss free throws when the Lakers are within striking distance. They will KILL YOU."

Exciting game! Magic really blew it with turnovers and missed free throws. Pietrus frustration foul on Gasol at the end was just dirty.
34 weeks agoI had to check this one out because my DVR didn't record the overtime! He really gave him a two-fisted bang job. Here it is in HD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l95q5N9tFJw
34 weeks agoOh yeah, he gave him a double clubbing, right in the spine. It's a good thing that Gasol is so noodley, otherwise he might have fallen awkwardly from the rim!
34 weeks agoSo glad I am not a Magic fan. The self pity of their players and lack of execution down the stretch was pitiful. Once the game got close, I knew the Lakers would win. You could tell by just looking at the players faces on each team. One was determined the other was scared.
