A 99-95 Lakers win evens their series with San Antonio at 2 games apiece. Now it's getting interesting, with 2 of the last 3 games in San Antonio. I think the mental toughness of the Spurs will be tested again. Will they show up to play, or will they just pack it in like they did over the last two years? I am hoping for the latter.

It looks like Sacramento's title hopes are slim to none, and slim looks like he's leaving the building. Without Chris Webber there, things are very different. As evidenced by their game last night, they still have a chance to win, but I don't think that they'll be able to handle the winner of the Spurs/Lakers series, since they won't really have anyone to go up against Duncan or Shaq.
