Game 3 just ended. Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets 108-94 and now take a commanding 2-1 series lead. So homecourt advantage is gained back. It was another hell of a game 3. Lakers had lead early but relinquished it but eventually gained it back in the third quarter and the Rockets had no answer.
Boy, Yao Ming looks hurt. The ESPN Cameras shot his right knee and it was all swollen. Hope he is well as Yao better not have hurt his knee. Anyways, to the best of the night for the Lakers. Kobe Bryant was invincible again. 33 pts 6 reb and many clutch threes. He nailed a three from deep top of the key at the buzzer of third quarter. Kobe was unstoppable again. In addition, Kobe is 6th all time in Playoff Scoring Points again. Passed Larry Bird tonight.
Lamar Odom had 16 pts 13 reb and was huge again. He started the game on the 1st possession by dunking a lob pass from Trevor Ariza. Pau Gasol, 13 pts, but was fouled hard by Ron Artest near end of the game. That should not have been a flagrant 2. The NBA Adminstrators are really picky and will suspend players for anything. It was only a hard foul, shouldda been a flagrant one. LOL Ron Artest is ejected for 2nd straight game.
Lakers win and we can all relax now. No more serious panicking about that game 1 loss, which was a wake up call. Sunday on Mother's Day, we'll see if Lakers can damper the hearts of the Houston Rockets in Houston.
