You have got to hand it to Mitch Kupchack.This has got to be the best trash-to-riches story since the Bulls bought the Suns' 7th pick and turned it into Luol Deng or since Ainge turned Al Jefferson and Jeff Green into Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen.
Pau Gasol, Spaniard extraordinaire, forcefully took the baton of responsiblity from MVP Kobe Bryant to turn the last minute of Game 5 into his own personal highlight reel and catapult the Lakers to a 3-2 series lead over the Jazz.
What made this even more surprising was how Kobe seemed to totally trust Pau, a Laker for half a season, with the game on the line.
Now, this exciting and explosive series goes back to Utah, arguably the hardest homecourt to steal a game from. But I got a good feeling about this. I think the Lakers are due.
