    I watched it Saturday. It was a pretty good game. "Akeem" was having a so-so game until that third quarter where he just went nuts for a few possessions in a row, and it didn't matter who was on him. Ralph took over in the fourth after Pat Riley sent the best Lakers GM ever (Mitch Kupchak) to take "Akeem" out of the game, in which succeeded, but lost the game and series anyway (dirty bastids!)

    The Lakers really started the game hot, and had control for much of it, but the Rockets just kept chipping away, cutting the lead down from 12 in the first quarter, to seven by half-time, and 2 by the end of the third.

    Ralph had a good game, too, especially in the fourth, including that miraculous shot at the buzzer.

    CBS Sports was good presentation, except for the other guy opposite of Dick Stockton. Man that guy sounded like a huge homer, saying stuff like, "Kareem was fouled" "He should be at the free-throw line" on more than one occasion. That guy was really tripping until the end when he saw that Rockets wasn't gonna lay down.

    Probably the biggest win in Rockets history until the championship years.
