  • With their backs against the wall, its obvious what the Lakers must do to send this series back to L.A.: Play near-perfect basketball against a team thats not only more talented, but better at closing tight contests.

  • Without Perk, Serge and Nick, theres a good chance this series would be headed back to Los Angeles for another game. Theres a good chance the Lakers wouldve had new life. Theres a good chance this series wouldve gone seven games.
