..The intensity for this game was high from the tip and it never waned.

The Lakers started off sluggish, with Davis, McGee, & Howard in early foul trouble. Both teams struggled from the perimeter throughout the game, but unlike the previous matchup, the Lakers made the necessary adjustments and found success in the paint, with LeBron leading the charge.

With the season series now split, we'll have to wait for a possible finals match-up for the tie-breaker.

Hopefully, we'll get our answer in June.
