Kings ball.

Garcia with the ball, Martin calls for it. He gets it, drives inside, goes up - lots of contact - and shot is blocked. No foul called.

PTB call. McMillan calls time out.

25.2 seconds left. 15 seconds left on the shot clock for PTB>

 

[VF21]

GO KINGS!!!!!

84-83 KINGS

Inbound to Roy, who is covered by Artest. Roy gets around Ron and gets the two.

85-84 PTB

Kings call time out with 13.3 seconds left. Artest had been in position to go one-on-one with Roy but I don't think that's what Reggie wanted.

GO KINGS!!!

 

[VF21]

Kings to inbound. Long story short. Garcia called for offensive foul as he tries to run up Roy's chest in the paint. MARTIN WAS WIDE OPEN!!!!

PTB ball.

6.8 seconds left

 

[VF21]

PTB to inbound. Artest and Miller swarm Jarrett Jack and Miller ties it up for a jump ball.

4.9 seconds left

Salmons in for Udrih.

 

[VF21]

OH, crap. CRAP, CRAP, CRAP!!!

Miller slaps the ball towards Artest, who slaps it towards Garcia, who has it ... and it's stripped. PTB fouled and heading to the line with 0.5 seconds left.

85-84 PTB

 

[VF21]

PTB makes first, makes second.

87-84 PTB

Kings will get the ball with 0.4 seconds left. Grant and Jerry talking about the Kings having a chance. IMHO our chance was when MARTIN WAS WIDE OPEN - even Grant commented on it - and Garcia had to try and be the man and do it all himself, being called - and rightly so unfortunately - for the offensive foul as he tried to make something out of nothing.

BLECH!!!!

 

[VF21]

Kings time out. Now they're ready ... Inbound to Artest, who spins and shoots. And misses.

Portland wins. 87-84.
