The forward rises up and fires a high, arching three-pointer. The ball floats in the air, spinning like a rubber globe as it falls towards the hoop, kisses the back rim, and swishes gently through.

...Lakers. "They did what they were supposed to do." Namely, feed Bryant the ball. But unlike past years, Kobe didn't hog it every time. On the next four trips, Bryant made one of those wild shots in the lane that only he can hit, assisted on a three pointer, dropped a slick pass to Dwight Howard for an easy dunk, and a drained a trey of his own. The U.S. got the lead back up to nine...
