A foot beyond the three point line. Hand in the face. Fading away. Defender right up there. Time winding down.
So Manu hits the three, his fourth in the first half.
And just like that, the Spurs have revitalized their flagging playoff spirits. While Tony parker and Tim Duncan struggled to get into their deadly playoff forms, Manu Ginobili, the great Argentine shot down the Lakers' dreams of winning Game 3.
And he did it against Vujavic, Radmanovic, Walton, even Kobe for a spell. Finally, the Lakers accepted the inevitable and started preparing for Game 4 with about 4 minutes left on the clock.
By this time, the Spurs were on a roll, with Udoka, Finley, Bowen and Barry joining the scoring fray. This time, the Lakers bench had no answer.
My guess is the Spurs will win game 4 as well. And then, chances are the home teams win until Game 7.
And Game 7 is anybody's ballgame.
