The Lakers put ignition expensive brave before game 2 and made its best one to convince each one that still continued being the life in its first-round series of the second phase against Phoenix. Results at night of Tuesdays indicated of another way. Everything that the Lakers tried horribly blown up. They pushed the ball inside and they obtained around pushed by Amare Stoudemire. Kobe Bryant tried to obtain its implied teammates, and betrayed its confidence. The Lakers intensified its defensive focus on Leandro Barbosa, and it had another shining effort.
The Lakers avoided that indignity, but weren't fast enough, smart enough or strong enough to hang with the Suns. The game turned late in the firstquarter and early in the second, when the Suns bridged a 10-0 run to open a 13-point lead. It's hard to see how the Lakers could have played much worse.
The final indignity came midway through the fourth quarter when Bryant, still in the game even though the Lakers faced a 30-point deficit, collided with Barbosa near midcourt and twisted his right ankle. Bryant stayed in the game temporarily but headed to the locker room with just under sixminutes left. The night could not have been of frustration for Bryant.
At the beginning of, it did not force the action whereas the Lakers looked like trim in attacking the basket and obtaining Stoudemire in revolting foul trouble. And here he is how that was: Hardly 77 seconds in the game, James Jones blocked the jump shot of Luke Walton. After Forty-seven seconds later, attempt of Bryant rejected by Stoudemire in a short runner. 75 seconds after that, Stoudemire rose to strike far with force one of layups that lead patented by Odom.
Its frustrated plan, the Lakers did not have any offensive rate. The Suns prevented Bryant from single-handedly taking over the game and kept the pace of play at their preferred run-and-gun speed.
The Suns must still win twogames to close out this series, but after a 126-98 victory, in front of 18,422 at US Airways Center, there's little evidence that the rest of the series is anything but a formality.
