The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

A night where K24 was awarded the MVP trophy, the Lakers overwhelmed the Jazz on home court in Game 2 of the series. A little overview of what happened tonight:

The Good
-Laker's acrobatic plays in the paint. Layup after layup. Too easy.
-Kobe and Fisher were on fire. Combined 18-28. (64%)

The Bad

-Utah's composure in the first half. They look liked they quit after the first two minutes of game.
-Radmonovic's game. A strange inbound pass in the first minute of gameplay continued with more funk.

The Ugly
-Carlos Boozer was completely off. Went in foul trouble early and never got into rhythm.
-Jazz shot 16 free throws. Lakers shot 43 free throws.

Conclusion
Plain and simple, the Lakers rocked the house tonight. They controlled the first half and was able to contain the Jazz in the second. With a 2-0 series now in the books, I still wouldn't take out the brooms just yet. The Jazz were horrible the last two games, but with a 17-24 record for away games, it's easy to see why they were so bad. The Jazz have a 37-4 home record, so there is a small chance for the Jazz to come back. Will the Jazz overcome and make a push like the Hawks? Not the way it's been going.

Next Game: Fri, May 9. 6:00 PM Pacific. TV: ESPN, KCAL
