Match preview: Phoenix Suns - Los Angeles Lakers 2010-05-26 (NBA)

Zone defense again?

Tonight, the Suns can square the series at 2-2 with another home win. Phoenix has won its first home due to the zone defense home team used much of the second quarter and the entire second half. It was the game-changing adjustment and the Suns managed to held the Lakers to just 15 second-quarter points. And that run has bring them a 7-point lead at the halftime, despite the fact the Suns have been trailing the Lakers 29-32 after the first quarter. Phoenix is averaging 26.3 first-quarter points per game against the LA Lakers. bet now

Still enough offensive weapons

It was that zone defense that forced the Lakers into taking jumpshots. And unfortunately for them, the shots weren`t falling. The Lakers averaged 126 points and shot 58% in the first two games of the Western Conference finals and their opponents had to do something to stop them. Still, the Lakers managed to score 32 points in the opening quarter. They are averaging 34.3 points per 1st quarter during this series against Phoenix. online betting

Lots of energy right from the tip-off

It looks like Alvin Gentry has a few tricks up his sleeve and one of them was that zone defense. But now that the Lakers know they`ll probably face it again, Phil Jackson will definitely have a plan to break down that defense. Throughout the playoffs, the Lakers have been one of the best first-quarter teams, meaning they usually come out with lots of energy. The fact that their starting backcourt consists of two big men - Gasol and Bynum, gave them edge over the teams they`ve faced so far. With both of them in the lineup I doubt the Suns will want to go to that zone from the tip-off. Expect to see a high-scoring first quarter. bet online
