Game 2


Game 2 of the NBA Finals began like a bad junior high basketball game. Neither team could find the bottom of the bucket. It looked like both teams had just walked out of an ice chest prior to taking the floor. The cold shooting by both teams helped to set a new NBA record. At the end of the first quarter the score was 15-15, which is the lowest combined first quarter total in NBA Finals history.

Lamar Odom had a strong fourth quarter for the Lakers, and the game went back and forth but the home team always has an advance in the playoffs espically with LA.The Lakers didn't seem to play with much energy like the previous three games but they did get another great performance by Lamar Odom. Odom had 19 points and 8 boards. As i crack open the record book, i discover when the home team takes the first two games of a best-of-seven series they've been victorious 94 percent of the time. Only three times in league history has a team come back from an 0-2 hole

Los Angeles will now take a 2-0 series lead to Orlando as the Magic will try to regroup and get back in the series in front of the hometown fans. Lakers should be happy that they're leading 2-0 after they didn't play their A-game. Not that Orlando brought theirs, either. The end of the game saved this from being a very forgettable game.

the magic have a really good chance of winning Game three because of home court.
Expect the magic to come out playing well.
