Kobe predicted the move, but Durant was too tall, and all he could do was interfere.
The goddess of luck was on Durant's side, as the ball bounced several times on the rim before finally falling into the net.
The Supersonics forced the Lakers Team into their first timeout with a 7 to 0 start.
With the Zen Master's patience, he usually wouldn't call a timeout so quickly.
But now was different, he saw that the Supersonics were pushing on defense, hence the Lakers needed to shift the focus of their offense.
"Tonight's officiating leans toward defense, let's go inside!" Jackson said to James, "LeBron, be more decisive on the offense. You should know that no one can stop your face-up game!"
On the other side, Yu Fei and Durant were discussing offensive tactics: "That shot of yours was a bit forced."
Durant admitted sheepishly, "As long as it goes in, it's fine."
"Luck won't always be on your side." Yu Fei said, "You have to play smart."
