Game 3 - Lakers Lose 99-104

Filed Under Lakers  | Email This Post

What a horrible game did the Lakers play last night…I almost could not watch it. 18 turnovers, 5 by Pau alone. I hate to say this, but Pau was reminding me of Kwame Brown, it seemed like everytime he tried to do something the ball would slip out of his hands and he would look at the ref confused!!!

Boozer had a monster game, 27 points and 20 rebounds. Considering we only got outrebounded by 3 (32-35), it seemed like on every miss, Utah got the rebound…even when towards the end when Boozer missed his 2nd free throw, all 3 Lakers stood and watched as Boozer got his own rebound and scored….that and the Luke turnover off the jump ball between Pau and Deron cost us the game. The only positive thing was that after the way the Lakers played, at the end we could have stolen the game, but we just gave it away at the final 3 minutes.

Kobe did his thing 34 points (10-20 shooting) and 7 asst and 6 rebounds.

Game 4 at Utah, Sunday 3:30 Eastern.

Some Facts:

Only 13 of the 211 teams that lost the first two games in a best-of-seven NBA playoff series have overcome that deficit to advance. … Teams coached by Jackson are 39-0 when winning the opener of a playoff series — 24-0 with the Chicago Bulls and 15-0 with the Lakers. … Sloan is fourth on the all-time regular-season wins list with 1,089 victories and Jackson ranks sixth with 976. Jackson is the overall leader in the postseason with 185 wins while Sloan is sixth with 91. … The Lakers have a 15-3 record at Staples Center against the Jazz since the arena opened before the 1999-2000 season.
