Fine LakersSuns Kobe Bryants Air Ball Leads to Lak

That must be one head-scratcher in Phoenix, and maybe even L.A., as the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Phoenix Suns in one pivotal Game Five. With just over one second remaining in the game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Artest caught an errant Kobe Bryant air ball and banked in one five-footer for the win.
The Suns return to Phoenix with history against them and the frustration of coming back from 18 points down only to lose at the buzzer. The team started the decade successfully with Stanley Cup wins in 1930 but the team and its then Montreal rival,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Montreal Maroons declined both on the ice and economically during the Depression. Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Ohio interests. However local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations and many of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.
This followed one barrage of offensive rebounds the Suns grabbed off three three-pointers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the last of which was banked in by Jason Richardson to tie the game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 101-101.
The home jersey of the tean is mainly red in colour. There are four blue and white stripes one across each arm one across the chest and the other across the waistline. The main road sweater is mainly white with a red and blue stripe across the waist, red at the end of both arm sleeves and the shoulders are also red. The basic design has been used since 1914. The current version was dated from 1952. Due to the lengthy history of the team and significance in Quebec,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the jersey has been referred to as the holy flannel sweater. Jason Richardson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], how does it feel to hit the game-tying bank three-pointer, then give up the winning layup?
Steve Nash was the high scorer for the Suns with 29 points on 12-20 shooting to go along with 11 assists. Despite his air ball at the end of the game, Kobe Bryant just missed one triple-double,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as Maurice Richard finished with one game-high 30 points, 11 rebounds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and nine assists.
At the other end of the court, Artest was able to squeeze by Richardson,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who failed to box him out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and score the winning bucket with no one on him as the buzzer sounded.
