NBA Scoreboard: The Firefox Addon

Steve Kerr has five NBA Championship rings. And his dream of a sixth was kept alive when the Phoenix Suns powered past the LA Lakers for a 115-106 win in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. The series is now improbably tied at 2-2. Some notes:

• Kobe Bryant. He had his “there is no way that I am going to let my team lose” face on in the second quarter, draining shot after shot to keep the Suns in check. But his fourth quarter was quiet, despite 38 points on the night. Expect even more in game five.
• Suns’ bench. They’d heard the challenge after LA’s bench came up big in games one and two. In game four, they answered. Every player contributed in a series-saving performance in front of a frenzied, orange crowd. Look for Odom, Farmar and Brown to bounce back in game five.
• The Zone. Are people really talking about the Suns’ defense after the two 130 point outbursts from the Lakers in LA? Surely Jackson and the veteran Lakers will figure this one out in time for game five.

Well, here we are. Again, the Suns have over-achieved, exceeding everyone’s expectations. Game 5 has become a must win for the Lakers, and I expect them to rise to the occasion. The series isn’t there for the taking for the Suns – it is still LA’s to lose. Go Suns!
