After a great performance by Manu Ginobili in the last game, the Lakers look to play their own game and tie the series up at 1-1 against the San Antonio Spurs. Jordan Hill is cleared to play tonight and hopes to bring his energy off the bench to help the Lakers to a victory. But will that be enough?

Dwight is in beast mode. What a finish + the foul.

The Lakers are 3-for-6 from 3 so far. Last game they were 3-for-15

SAS have both Duncan and Splitter sitting for the final minute of the 1st after Splitter’s 2nd PF; meanwhile, Clark’s J ties it at 22.

2nd Quarter

Nash drew a charge on Joseph, then hit his first shot in 4 attempts to cut the SAS lead to 6 w/10 min. to go in the 2nd.

What a look by Nash. Wow.

Steve Blake shooting a corner three is the most reliable thing in the Lakers’ backcourt these days.

Spurs put together a 7-0 run and take a 53-46 lead late in the 2nd. Can’t afford to have too many of these lapses if LA wants to win.

Ginobili (12 points) hit 4 of 5 shots, including 3 triples, 2 in the final 1:08 to put LAL in an 8-point hole at halftime.

Beautiful play from the Lakers results in a Howard stuff. Lakers back down nine w/ 8:55 left in the 3rd.

Gasol hits the 19-footer & Blake nails his 3rd triple of the night for a quick 5-0 run since Howard sat. 65-59 SA w/ 7:17 to play in Q3.
— Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) April 25, 2013
Parker scores 12 straight SA pts as Lakers struggle to protect the rim w/ Howard sitting but LA hanging in there, 75-67 w/ Gasol FTs coming.
— Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) April 25, 2013
End of the 3rd, Spurs lead the Lakers 78-68. Parker leads with 19 points. j.mp/XXVS3o #GoSpursGo

4th Quarter
9.
Earl with a fantastic drive and finish there.

When Ron Artest starts driving into the lane and pivoting to get free for a shot, it looks a lot like the board game Mouse Trap.

8-0 run from the Lakers. Suddenly a 9-point game. 2:32 to play. #AmexNBA
