This could be good for the Lakers, the team that always needs a challenge. Kobe on the loss,

“You couldn’t possibly expect this to be easy. If you want to make history, you have to do historic things.”

If they take it one game at a time, I have faith that they will somehow pull this out. Losers falter in the face of defeat. Have hope.

“All we gotta do is win one game. Everybody’s trippin” - Kobe Bryant
