He was tripleteamed the entire game, and was getting beaten down physically. It's depressing that he can't get help, but ESPN said that the "big three sputters" and that the Lakers "shut down the big three."
The Lakers throw three guys at KG on every play, Spree shreds their defense and does very well, but Sam didn't even play... I mean, I wouldn't call his time on the court "working." He got hard-fouled and hit the floor and now he's probably out.
The Wolves never stood a chance. The Kings whined about injuries when the Wolves had injuries too. The Lakers are completely healthy. There's no way with our COMPLETE LACK OF POINT GUARD we can guard GP and Fisher. With KG under the basket, Malone is like Webber... free to hit the open J. Kobe runs circles and tires Hassell or Spree out, and Shaq gets doubled by loser Centers and KG trying to cut him off. You can't guard everyone. Spurs couldn't. Kings sure as hell couldn't.
And if you guys think it's a good thing that they've been there before and have no reason to be excited, you are missing the point of the game. Basketball is not a job. It's a sport. And if you can't even SMILE after winning a very important game, then basketball has lost its spirit. It's not even a case of underdogs, it's just the Lakers coasting through the playoffs. I'm assuming the next three (or four) games are going to have piss-poor ratings.
And since the Kings < The Wolves, that series would not have been better.
My only solace is that the Lakers will be torn apart next season.
