Lakers-Spurs Game 1: Kobe, better late than never!
thehoopdoctors.com 5/22/2008 — Good review of how even when Kobe doesn't show up for the half, when he puts his mind to it the Lakers are tough to beat. Also, reviews why that pisses off all coaches, even his own! LOL.

Bryant Dominates Second Half as Lakers Erase 20 Point Deficit to Edge Spurs
20secondtimeout.blogspot.com 5/22/2008 — Kobe Bryant scored 25 second half points as the Lakers came back from a 65-45 third quarter deficit to beat the Spurs 89-85. Tim Duncan repeatedly trapped Bryant on pick and roll only to see Bryant lob passes over his head to Pau Gasol for easy hoops; in last year's Finals, Duncan played off of the weak-shooting LeBron James and denied him the opportunity to make such passes.

emptythebench.com 5/22/2008 — This is why we watch. When Tim Duncan made a 7-foot hook shot to put the defending champions up by 20 (65-45) with just under 6 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter, all looked lost: the game, the series, and the Lakers season. I felt sick to my stomach. There was no way, no way, that they could possibly squander such a commanding advantage, right? Cue Kobe Bean Bryant.
