LA made it over the top at the end, but only because Kobe Bryant is a questionable entry into the human race!! I think he is a basketball alien, who is preying on the weaker species on a nightly basis in the NBA. Only 23 points, 4 boards and 6 assists for the Black Mamba, with his sidekicks Gasol and Odom, dropping in double-doubles for 33 and 21 combined. Mike Finley has his best game in quite some time and matched the still underrated Tony Parker with 25 to pace the game. TD chipped in his usual with 16 and 11, but it was the 18 turnovers that did the Spurs in at the end. Thank you for joining me for some great NBA action and keep coming back for the last 15-20 games on the year for each squad. Wade for MVP.

The Lakers came into tonight's game with the best overall record in the NBA, and when the last 7 seconds roll off the clock, they will return to the City of Angels with the big win. Final Score from San Anton: Your San Antonio Spurs 95 - Los Angeles Lakers 102 for their league leading 52nd game of the year.

Mason fouls Kobe before the shot, but all that it did was delay the inevitable. Over the top of his man from long range, but right back inside with a Parker dish to Duncan. Pau with the nifty reverse and Duncan gets tangled up by Odom on the next trip down. A great defensive stand by the Lakers, and with Sasha at the line, it's instantly a 3 possession game. Lakers up 7 with 19 ticks to play. Anything can happen, but this one looks like an LA win away from home.

Parker's midrange jumper is now a strength instead of a hindrance, but no stopping Kobe and his team high 5th assist. No counting out the perennial contending Spurs and Parker lets it rip to make it only a two point Lakers lead!! All the way from the ashes to rise again!! 95-93, timeout Lakers with just over two on the clock.

Odom tries to help himself to an easy two, but the 2-Time NBA MVP and 3-Time Finals MVP says no way Lamar and Duncan has 14 points, 11 boards and now 2 big blocks. 5 triples for Finley and he hasn't shot this well since he departed Dallas as a top free agent. Still a 7 point deficit, but the fans are behind them for a dazzling 11-4 run.
