Exhausted Kobester, albeit with 42 points.
Inspired Diesel, with 28 points, 14 boards and three blocks.
Equals victory, but they had me sweating in the first half.

I think my blood pressure went way up.
I'm still wary. San Antonio is a great team and will give the Lakers all they have and more.
To defeat San Antonio, the Lakers have got to have the pressuring defense, swarming, etc., and translate it to the SBC Center. That's what worries me about not having the home court.
