San Antonio Spurs vs LA Lakers April 28, 2013
If the Los Angeles Lakers had entered the postseason completely healthy, this could have been a fantastic playoff series.
Alas, the injury bug finally took a bite out of Kobe Bryant's ageless legs, depriving fans of a thrilling clash between the Black Mamba and Tim Duncan, two early nominees for the All-Century team.
With the graying Lakers lineup hobbled, the San Antonio Spurs have ruthlessly taken over the series. They won each of the first three games by double digits and handed L.A. a 31-point shellacking in Game 3, the worst home playoff loss in the franchise's storied history.
Andrew Goudelock will start at shooting guard for L.A., and he brings an MVP pedigree. Unfortunately, that was MVP of the D-League, and these are the NBA playoffs. Though the Lakers will come out fighting, they don't really have a puncher's chance in this one.
Time: Sunday, April 28, 7 p.m. ET
Where: Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA
Series Record: 3-0 Spurs
