So was Game 1 a monumental Spurs meltdown or an extraordinary Lakers comeback?
Call it a meltback – one part meltdown, one part comeback.

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.
