Who Wants It More? (NBA Finals)

Lots on the line tonight. For the Lakers, it’s a chance to take a commanding 3-1 series lead and for Orlando, an opportunity to put everything back to square one. There’s a lot to keep an eye on tonight. Things like, will the Lakers get Pau Gasol the ball in a position to shoot more often, or will Kobe the Closer return to form or continue to show signs of wall collision?
For the Magic, will Gina Incandela’s good luck continue because she’s singing the National Anthem again tonight? Speaking of Pau Gasol’s touches, will Dwight Howard get more than 10 shots tonight, something that hasn’t happened in the previous three games? Another key is the play of their guards. In the first two games, Mickael Pietrus and Rafer Alston were non-existent. This changed dramatically in Game 3 as Pietrus contributed 18 and Alston 21.
If the Magic want to tie this sucker up, a repeat performance from those two — or Courtney Lee — is in order.
