5:21 Left - 4th quarter - 89/91 - Blazers ahead by two points Lakers have the ball. Kobe makes jumper over BRoy. He popped out with a screeen from Pau - but Roy was right in his jersey when he shot it. It was almost a 3 pointer from the right side - SWISH!! Nice shot. 91/91 - tie Good defense by Lakers - Blake ends up dribbling around the right baseline with really nothing going on. He moves around and gets a 15 footer off from the baseline - over Pau - and it GOES IN!! Shot clock was winding down - the Laker's deserved better with the excellent defense they played. Oden was momentarily open when Blake took the shot since Pau came out to double - but there was no way to get the ball to him. 93/91 - Blazers - 04:50 left. Kobe against BRoy at the top of the key - step back two is off the the right - Rudy rebounds. 4:32 left Roy fights through a pick with Kobe on him. Drives left into Kobe and gets a foul called on Kobe - his 4th foul. Brandon makes both free throws. 95/91 Blazers - 04:24 left. Lobe into Odom - misses layup - misses tip - makes second tip. 95/93 Blazers - 04:03 left Brandon drives along the left baseline into traffic. Gives a fake and then makes a 4 foot hook shot over Odom - SWISH!!! That was one pressure shot. 97/93 Blazers - 03:45 left Kobe gets a screen out front - and slips past Roy - who tries to foul him on the drive - misses him. Kobe gets to the rim and makes a layup and is fouled by Oden. Kobe makes the free throw. 97/96 Blazers - 03:35 left BRoy against Kobe at the top of the key. Roy fakes and starts to the right and sold Kobe on the drive... steps back and creates enough space for a 17 foot jump shot that SWISHES!! This was a very strong move by Brandon. 99/96 Blazers - 03:17 left Kobe drives to the left - away from Brandon - and Oden picks him up and cuts off the baseline. Kobes loses the ball out of bounds - but the refs call a foul on Greg (he must have been breathing too hard). That's Greg's fifth foul and Joel comes back in. Kobe makes the free throws. 99/98 Blazers - 03:01 left Roy is doubled up top and LMA breaks free going towards the basket. Brandon makes a bounce pass to him, but LMA misses the shot - probably fouled, but no call. A bit of a scramble for the ball and the Lakers dig it out. 02:38 Kobe has the ball - fakes Roy into the popcorn machine and quickly takes a long two - which MISSES. Joel gets the rebound. 02:18 - Roy gets a switch out front with Odom on him. Blake comes out around a perfectly executed screen by Joel who picks off Fisher. Blake ends up with a left corner 20 footer that GOES IN!! This is the second clutch shot for Steve in crunch time. Joel was rolling to the rim for the rebound and LMA was there too. The shot clock was down to four. 101/98 Blazers - 01:57 Kobe take a long two from the top of the key (just got his foot on the line). Long rebound and Fisher gets it over Blake, but sort of fumbles it as he lands (Blake was heading down the court). Brandon punches the ball out of Fisher's hands and LMA gets his left hand on it and then it hits Joel's foot as he was moving it forward and kicks it out of bounds. SO CLOSE!!! Joel dove to the floor hoping to get it - but it was gone. Lakers call time out. 01:30 left. Kobe drives into the lane - passes to Fisher for a 3 right in front of the Blazer bench. This looks like a play they setup as it only takes nine seconds. Fisher misses the three and Travis gets his FIRST rebound of the game. The Blazers bring the ball up to the front court and call time out with 01:13 left - and ahead by 3 points. Blake inbounds to Travis who hands it to Roy. Brandon drives into the lane and sort of fumbles the ball (maybe it was punched). He passes out to Travis who is at the 3 point line angled right - for the dagger. Misses... up over and out... LAKERS CALL ANOTHER TIME OUT. These last two timeout calls are rather strange to me - and I am not sure they would have called both of them if Phil Jackson wasn't watching the game on TV. 101/98 - Blazers (still) Lakers take the ball out of bounds in their front court. Kobe makes Ariza move away from throwing the ball in and gets Odom there instead. Kobe is down on the left side of the key with Roy on him. The ref comes over and warns one or both of them about pushing before the ball comes in. Kobe gives Brandon a small push with his shoulder after that. Kobe pops out - gets a screen and takes a 3 from the left side with Brandon right on him... hits the backboard and draws NO IRON. Travis gets the rebound and Odom pressures him for a second. The Lakers are doing a full court press. Travis gives the ball to Blake and then ODOM COMES OVER AND MUGS BLAKE FOR A FOUL. Kobe is upset at this foul - it wasn't a smart one. 42 seconds left. Blake misses one - makes one free throw. Steve had missed an earlier technical free throw earlier and told Brandon that he didn't want to shoot any more free throws. 102/98 Blazers - 42 seconds left... Kobe with the ball (who else). Drives to the left of the lane again to get away from Brandon and this time Joel cuts him off - and Kobe jumps in the air with nowhere to go... he throws a cross court pass to Fisher who is standing in front of the Blazer bench - but Blake read it perfectly and picks off the pass!!! Blake drives into the front court before anyone can catch him. He passes to LMA and then back to Blake and then they call time out before Steve gets fouled. Maybe they wanted to have someone other than Steve shoot the free throws? 102/98 Blazers - 28 seconds left. Blake inbounds to Rudy who gets fouled quickly. Rudy misses one (well - he is only shooting like 38 percent from the FT line in April) - makes the second. 103/98 Blazers - 26.9 seconds to go. Lakers use their LAST TIME OUT!!! Walton passes to Odom who drives to the hoop and takes a horrible looking weak shot. He hits the rim, but obviously was thinking he would get fouled. LMA played great defense with his arms up in the air. Travis gets the rebound and 20,000 people exhale. Travis runs to the front court and Kobe wraps him up for his fifth foul with 18.7 seconds left. TRAVIS MAKES BOTH FREE THROWS!! 105/98 Blazers - 18 seconds left. Kobe takes a wild 3 - AIRBALL!! Pau tries to save to Fisher - but it ends up out of bounds to the Blazers. NINE SECONDS LEFT!! LMA inbounds to Travis - fouled by Walton with 8.1 seconds left. Travis misses one - makes one. 106/98 Blazers - 8.1 seconds left!! Odom launches a long 3 as he comes up the court - hits iron - Joel gets the rebound and hands it to Roy and then THE BUZZER SOUNDS. Brian Wheeler no doubt yells "And once again - it's a great day to be a Blazer!!".
