The NBA is really puzzling...24-point comebacks are pretty rare and we've seen two in three games here (okay, in Game 2 the Lakers came within 2 after being down 24 with 7 minutes to go).
A team with a huge lead will often be criticized for nursing that lead when they "should" be continuing to do what built the lead in the first place. Last night, it seems as though the Lakers didn't try to nurse the lead and they got burned when the shots stopped falling.
Game 5 prediction: Kobe will take things into his own hands, score 60, and the Lakers will lose.
