Tonight, Boston smashed the Sixers 101-85 to take a 3-2 lead in that series. Now Kobe Bryant is about to play what will probably be the last quarter of his season. The Oklahoma City Thunder, who lead this series 3-1, have an 83-77 lead at home with one quarter to go. It's not Kobe's fault; he has 34 points.
Kobe is sitting on the bench to open the fourth quarter. The Thunder open with a jump shot from James Harden and a three-pointer by Kevin Durant. Now it's 88-77 with 11:03 left. Lakers call time.

ReplyDeleteThis is suddenly over. The Lakers (with Kobe still on the bench) commit a foul. Kobe gets off the bench to check in. But before he can get in the game, Kevin Durant nails another three.

ReplyDeleteSo we say good-bye to Kobe. But now we finally get a real challenge for the Spurs -- who are 8-0 in the playoffs so far. The Thunder are 8-1 in the playoffs, and I think whoever wins that series will win the NBA title.
