馬刺mvp球星鄧肯全場狂飆37分16籃板球,搭配派克27分,全場轟得湖人隊毫無招架之力,終場110:82馬刺四勝二負淘汰湖人,率先闖進西區冠軍戰,湖人四連霸夢碎。
湖人輸了這場比賽,不但尋求四連霸的紀錄中斷,且總教練傑克森自1996年起的季後賽對戰組合連勝25回的紀錄也被中止,七年執掌nba兵符以來首度與冠軍絕緣。
馬刺今晚在客場可說是彈無虛發,命中率高達五成五,上場十二名球員有十一名得分均有建樹,反觀湖人OK連線僅有歐尼爾一人發威,拿下31分10籃板球,布萊恩攻下20分,但第四節僅有兩分進帳,且留下7次失誤的難堪成績,
湖人上半場尚能與馬刺抗衡,但第三節後卻像洩了氣的皮球般被馬刺一路壓著打,三節打完馬刺即取得80:69十一分領先,然而湖人隊最擅長的第四節逆轉秀今天卻未如期上演,OK連線徹底崩盤,差距在馬刺鄧肯與派克帶領下越拉越開,終場便以最大差距的28分,110:82讓尋求四連霸的湖人隊提前打包回家放暑假。〈趙純孝〉
