2009 NBA Playoffs: Game 4 - Los Angeles Lakers 118 Houston Rockets 78 (Highlights)

Game 4: Los Angeles Lakers 118 Houston Rockets 78

Analysis: Seeing the Lakers play like this makes you wonder how the hell they lost two games to the Rockets with out without Yao Ming. We all know the Lakers have the potential to be the best team in the NBA, but it seems like they don't show it every night. Will that come back to haunt them in the next two rounds? I'm not sure, but I'm thinking it might depending on who they play. In this game, it didn't matter though since they were able to flip the switch and come out with the intensity needed to shutdown a undermanned Rockets team. They also came out on fire offensively too and shot over 50% from the floor.

Key Players of The Game

Kobe Bryant: Kobe led the way for the Lakers and finished with 26 points in 31 minutes; while shooting 10 of 19. He also had 4 rebounds, 3 assists, a block, and a steal.

Andrew Bynum: I thought Bynum playing well early helped ignite the Lakers and he finished with 14 points and 6 rebounds on 5 of 6 shooting.

Pau Gasol: Gasol had another efficient game shooting 5 of 9 from the floor to score 16 points. He also grabbed 13 rebounds and had 3 assists, 3 blocks, and a steal.
