3-Pointer Goes the Other Way in San Antontio

The Lakers’ Kobe Bryant scored a three-pointer to beat Houston Tuesday but last night it was the San Antonio Spurs whose three-pointer led them to victory. Derek Fisher was called for a foul with just 10.5 seconds to play, thus allowing Roger Mason to complete a three-point play that ended the game 112-111. Wednesday’s game at A&T was like many others for L.A., in which they make up early-game sloppiness with a fourth quarter comeback, except the comeback didn’t happen this time.

Kobe Bryant told the L.A. Times, “That’s the least we can do to return the favor after Fish ‘0.4′ed them. Hopefully [the Spurs] got it out of their system so when the playoffs come around, they don’t have any more bullets left,” referring to when Fisher’s “0.4″ shot ricocheted around Texas years ago. The last time the Lakers were in San Antonio they beat the Spurs 93-91 in Game 4 of last season’s Western Conference finals.
