three well we're little kisser we're going to do is come out try to execute it really sound and be really solid and the things I would like to do all physically and defensively it it's kind of take it from there now Kobe you grew up in Philadelphia your dad played for the 76ers you practice with the Sixers as a youngster but you said your favorite player was Magic Johnson is this difficult or exciting for you to play the Sixers that's exciting so it's nice to be the NBA Finals it's gonna have opportunity to play against a team like Philadelphia it's kind of a part of history you know it's a big tradition with the Lakers and the Sixers back in the day which is a part of me all right go be festive lucky tonight all right let's go down the Lewis Johnson with the 76ers he like to Shack open up with a 50 point first here in game they are 72 when he doesn't they are foreign fire shoot the ball Kobe Bryant washing sloppy start by the liquor sixers with a 5-2 lead those the kind of baskets be Lakers you don't want to give Iverson layups toby off the fake Fox the bench bring Eric Snowden to a small shut down that's a surprise Fisher in the Kobe Bryant to attack the shower looking to set up TV Kobe Bryant right warning he drives it and gets copied back on his heel pulled back with the quick police jumper that was beautiful sweet Drummond and he must continue to shoot the basketball in his power I whoever said Oh as the sexy refused do you know when they're struggling to shoot the ball would not take a shot like that against the clock he never looks at his shot Sam's he will take the shot for his team traveling violation applause on the hustle about on Iverson the length of Kobe Bryant he just get down and just get a piece of that shot you don't see that often the starting to fit much better right now yes the basket you cannot claim and matumbo cannot take the foul I already have one you can sue Alex try on Fox see the Lakers have not faced this kind of pressure on the perimeter defensively and if the Sixers are going to win that's exactly what they have to do final seconds of the corner coffee with free and one-tenth second remaining Anna's first one I'm Harvey give you a little stat here Ali with a 17 five runs and the first quarter Lakers have led by as many as 13 Allen Iverson on fire have given the 76ers a one-point lead sexy dr. king and if you'll rebound the ball and that's what Philadelphia's done here is for gas I listen the lid off the Lakers 4:40 in the Kobe back in his hometown of Philadelphia plan of a shorter Pyrus of 19 points right on her last night guarding Iverson 18-point just under three minutes that was not pretty by Aaron McKie but somehow he found he doesn't turn very often he makes simple play for me Brian by Coby on a medical vacation and team president Pat Croce backed his coach told Iverson Lowery was not going sex is now 51 to 45 is even talking treating a person nearly happened both parties then here are the first half just to 4/9 for the field either the Lakers apart in this first half cooking up the SS from say cheese the same plate again this time they do a nice job to physically and I would step back his left foot Marco he's getting that shot up right now it's too tight here comes another the finals record for most points in a half Michael Jordan a half so I was in college in a Finals game 61 record held the job on Sunday game 7 against the Box Iverson three days boys and getting stronger as the game goes on what chapter on some signs rubbery brown watch the target over down by justice seven rebel that's enough was it fibers are crap I said they were wearing him down he was getting tired right so you should not be able to make that kind of shot got a good job Ivarsson can't get the ball who was gonna be able but put it in the basket to shake off snow brother water and the end of 96 before this gormogon a sex of 20 at that time your game the shuttering sexist with the ball down Ivarsson bothered by Lowe's how about that seven straight points by Iverson look like he was dead in the water and over time three gives the sexes a warm as you mentioned earlier Doug Eric snow player who number of Cajuns has hit what shots down the stretch Helen Iverson the courage of this young guy he'd been told me shut down gets out of the break hits the three to give his team a two-point lead down the stretch after going quiet you have ended the 19 game winning streak by the Lakers no one expected that to happen you were hot early you're cooled off because of the defense
