Too many turnovers was their downfall as they pretty much played them even everywhere else. A very a fun game to see in person.
More observations I noticed at the game:
I was surprised Ron Artest got booed every time he held the ball or shot. They booed him louder than Kobe at introduction.
I was very glad Ariza matched Artest's 3 pointer at the end of regulation. There was some dialogue between the two during a stoppage of play and one of the refs over-reacted and warned them to shut it.
There is no love lost between McGrady and Artest. McGrady didn't even flinch or gesture back when Artest went to say hello to the coaching staff and Artest put out his hand to touch his knee.
There is a new video out on Chuck, Landry, and Scola playing a drawing charades game. Sooo funny ... I hope they release it so the GARM can enjoy it.
