Lakers 3-0. Let a big lead slip away, but that was mainly Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis showing their full talent to fight their way back. Once they locked down Allen, Ronny Turiaf's excellent heart and energy totally carried the team. Kobe looked flat and it was apparent with 5 turnovers, missed dunks and layups, but he made up for it with solid defense and passing skills. Oh ya, and he also scored a bunch. Odom was brilliant again, and he will continue to be throughout the year. Walton very quietly had the game of his career. Everything is looking great.
3 things have to happen for the Lakers to continue like this:
Kobe has to get his conditioning back to normal.
Bynum has to follow Kobe and get his conditioning up as well. He was exhausted after the first half.
Radmanovic has to keep finding ways to contribute despite his hand. He's been doing great so far.
