Match preview: Los Angeles Lakers - Phoenix Suns 2010-05-20 (NBA)

Height advantage

The Lakers are showing why they are the defending champions and have been very consistent throughout the playoffs. They are tough to beat, especially at home and they usually come out with lot of energy. The Lakers will once again have the height advantage and with both Bynum and Gasol in the starting five, they should be able to dominate the boards and score more points in the paint. In Los Angeles` last outing, Lamar Odom scored 19 points while also grabbing 19 rebounds and has yet again proved he is a huge spark off the bench. bet now

Lacking energy

Although the Suns were one of the best teams at opening games throughout the regular season, they just haven`t been able to get that same energy during the playoffs. In Game 1 they got outscored in the opening quarter by nine points (26-35) and it went only downhill from there. In their last three games, the Suns averaged only 21.3 points during the first quarter. online betting

Shouldn`t be any different this time around

The Lakers just dominated Phoenix in the first game and won it comfortably with a 128-107. The difference between the teams were points in the paint and with the height advantage the Lakers` have they should have the upper hand in that aspect of the game again. Although they`ve swept the Spurs, the Suns just wasn`t able to get it going from the tip-off and have found themselves trailing their opponents after the first quarter in three of four games. bet online
