Those who thought the Spurs had the game wrapped up by half time on Wednesday night, probably dropped their jaws to the floor with the unexpected (but amazing) comeback made by the Lakers, collecting the first victory on this 7-game 2008 Western Conference Finals.
MVP Kobe Bryant did a brilliant job scoring 27 points, and 25 of them were during the second half. No doubt he’s showing the best of his skills, taking his team to the advantage after being down by 20 points. Bryant made the Lakers take the lead just a couple of minutes away from the end of the fourth quarter, and then another final shot with 23 seconds left, leaving the result in a solid 89-85. Who will remember Kobe’s arrogance and hate towards the LA Lakers now?
Tim Duncan also stepped up to represent the Spurs with 30 points and 18 rebounds. Unfortunately, San Antonio didn’t count with the Lakers’ strong comeback and only scored 13 points during the second half.
Still, this is just game 1. Nothing’s set on stone yet, so the San Antonio Spurs have some more opportunities to keep up to the new Lakers’ agressive game. Let’s see who has what it takes to become the 2008 Western Conference Champion.
