I think San Antonio just wore down from having no break. That was the worst game i've seen Manu Ginobili play this season. Eme Udoka taking shots in crunch time is not a good recipe for San Antonio. As is Ronny Turiaf taking any shots for the Lakers.
Phil Jackson said he doesn't like when teams foul guys to send them to the line early. The hack-a-Shaq, but why not make Duncan prove he can make free throws?
The offense ran through Kobe and was successful. I think San Antonio got into some trouble when they didn't run the offense through Duncan. Also he waited for the double late in the game rather than just going into a post move or taking a shot.
I think this is a demoralizing loss. Up by 20 in the 2nd half of a game a team shouldn't lose.
