Wo0t--AK comes alive in the second half. On a trey, Kiri ties the Lakers at 62. Then Millsap draws contact (no foul) and ties it again at 64. Then DW gets a lead from a foul by Bryant. Then Kiri takes it hard to the rack to tie it again at 68.
(In other words, the difference from the first quarter is Utah's aggressiveness and hustle, NOT the refs.)
Raja draws foul 3 on Fisher; AK draws foul 4. That's a plus (although there's not much of a dropoff from Fish to Blake or Brown).
Even down the stretch in Q3, the Karma continues; DW misses the second of 2 free throw shots, but Gasol is in the lane (sign of lack of concentration by the World Champs?). Utah's makes the second-chance second shot. 75-72 at the end of three; 29-point quarter in both Q2 and Q3.
Now the starters have stepped it up; it's gonna be crucial for the "prison guards" to preserve/build the lead, because the starters will likely be back to finish the game.
