Nash gets the leaning J to go, plus the foul. He sinks the FT to complete the 3-point play. Lakers down 27-22 w/under 2 min. in the 1st.

Steve Nash has been fun tonight. He capped a 10-2 LAL run to tie the game at 29 with a pull-up, 1-footed runner from 17 over Lopez.

Loved Ryan Kelly's footwork on that last sequence and reading defense on where to drive to basket, get rebound and then find an open J
