San Antonio Spurs as those basketball experts wanted to induce us to believe, they are the more seasoned team and would not make stupid and silly moves down the stretch.  As expected Duncan routed every single coverage defense thrown at him, he’s like a machine doing every fundamental move in the book of basketball.  Parker was too quick in the lane and Ginobili was getting his slashing move at any time he wanted.  Their defensive execution was great as their offense was effective too.  Kobe was just watching them and his team continue to splutter in the first two quarters.  SA Spurs took the 1st half by a seven point margin.

At the break, the Spurs team displaying very charming smiles and were too contented with their accomplishment in the first half.  The Lakers team seems not troubled by those grins, continues the shoot around before the third. 

In the first half Kobe tried his very best to let his young Lakers team mates feel the game in the 1st two quarter and they were down 20 in the middle of the third canto, however Kobe was now fully agitated; and a different Kobe was in the game, the very aggressive one knowing fully well that his team needed him now.  He took every available shot given to him, slashed in the paint and dished to team mates inside and rattled the whole Spurs team including those in the sidelines.  He was deliberate in his moves but was intense and the Lakers team slowly inched their way to the match.  He ignited a 12-0 run eating the almost insurmountable lead of SA.  In the fourth a fold up of the Spurs was very evident and the Lakers continue the onslaught and the dominations of the board.   At this juncture you can see the real MVP stands up, does his thing and was completely dictating the tempo of the game as what was expected of him. 

The well oiled machine of the city of San Antonio just broke down in the middle of the heavy traffic in the busy  Hollywood Avenue.
