As I write this, it’s halftime in the Lakers-Timberwolves game. The Lakers lead the series 3 -2, meaning that the Timbewolves are out if they lose.

The score is 48-46 Lakers. Sprewell missed a 3-point shot at the buzzer that would have given us our first lead of the game.

Shaq has 4 fouls, Bryant has 3. A few other Lakers are in foul trouble.

The second half is going to be excruciating. Excuse me while I go watch the halftime analysis.
