Down 20 points at home and in danger of losing the ever-important home-court advantage, they orchestrated a big comeback that gave them a 1-0 series lead and all the momentum heading into Game two. The Lakers [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=imaginaryhardwood.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3501174&amp;post=29&amp;subd=imaginaryhardwood&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
