But Kobe Bryant's ability to make clutch plays down the stretch on Sunday was too much for the Rockets, who held a four-point lead late in the game before faltering. I am full confident Rockets will win 4-3 in series against Lakers,even if Kobe is on the court.
Fisrtly,We are the only team can win 1st round b/c we have two important game experiences in game 1 and 4. Second,we are younger than Laker and full of energy.
your last sentence is misleading, I actually thought that was part of the article only to see that Steve Kerr did infact NOT SAY that.
