Phil Jackson arguing with the officials about something. He's apparently unhappy that he wasn't notified the time out was changed from 20 seconds to a full. You'd think he would have noticed when they didn't go right back onto the court, wouldn't you?

 

[VF21]

Okay, this is just bizarre. I could swear they've now given Jackson more time to make up for not telling him about the length of the time out.

 

[VF21]

Kings ball - finally. Salmons inbound to Douby, who shoots quickly and misses. Watkins with the rebound, over to Douby, who misses again. Watkins rebound, but Farmar steals it.

Martin with a steal, passes to Salmons who gets two off the glass.

Uh-oh. On the replay, Walton appears NOT to have gotten the ball off in time. It looked like the red light never came on.

LAL ball.

Less than a minute left.

98-92 LAL

Ball oob.

Kings ball. Reggie calls time out.

I saw a lot of mistakes tonight that I'm sure Reggie is going to talk about. The main thing I saw was players simply not taking care of the ball and playing faster than they needed to. Douby took some very ill-advised shots, as did Garcia and Shakur.

Greene, Moore, Martin, Salmons and Watkins to finish the game for the Kings.

 

[VF21]

Salmons inbounds to Kevin.

MARTIN FOR THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
