The Suns and Lakers will tipoff a game the world will be waiting to see tonight at 9 PM ET (8 PM CT/6 PM PT) 
from the STAPLES Center in Downtown Los Angeles and it will be broadcasted live in high definition on TNT Sports. According to NBA Playoffs 2010 Picks & Predictions experts at SPORTSBETTING.com, the Phoenix Suns and the LA Lakers will combine to score a grand total of 218 points in the OVER/UNDER.
For the Suns, it seems like everyone wrote them off after the way they lost the first two games of the series in Los Angeles. “I think people were overlooking them after the first two games, and just thinking ahead already,” Pau Gasol said. “And so, obviously, that’s a big mistake.”
Despite Kobe Bryant’s efforts, the Lakers fell victims to the Suns’ zone defense for a second straight game. Flirting with his second triple-double in as many games, the Black Mamba finished with 38 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds. “We lost the game,” Bryant said, “because our defense sucked. Our focus was on the other side of the floor, which doesn’t win championships. So we need to get back to ground zero when it comes to that.”
A couple of nights before, Bryant chipped in with 36 points, 11 dimes and 5 boards. “Kobe had a great game,” Lamar Odom said. “Too bad we weren’t able to come along with him.”
