Kobe Bryant blames Pau Gasol for Lakers' Game 4 collapse against Thunder
Kobe Bryant blames Pau Gasol for Lakers' Game 4 collapse against Thunder
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Lakers trudged off the Staples Center floor late Saturday, a single loss now separating them from season's end, another fourth-quarter collapse once again causing their undoing. They didn't show much poise in the locker room, either, with Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum pointing blame at others for allowing the Oklahoma City Thunder to steal their second victory in three games. Bryant missed eight of his 10 shots in the final quarter, but shrugged off his struggles by saying his teammates' lack of aggressiveness "forced" him to take tough shots. He also left no question which teammate deserved the most blame for the 103-100 loss in Game 4. Pau Gasol. Bryant faulted Gasol for not playing aggressive enough. It was also Gasol's turnover that led to Kevin Durant making the winning 3-pointer with 13.7 seconds left. "Pau's got to be more assertive," Bryant said. "He's the guy they're leaving [open]. When he's catching the ball, he's looking to pass. He's got to be aggressive. He's got to shoot the ball or drive the ball to the basket. He will be next game." Bryant has periodically targeted Gasol with his public criticism, hoping to motivate him to lift his performance. But with the Lakers now down 3-1 in the series and facing Game 5 on Monday in Oklahoma City, Bryant's patience has been exhausted. Gasol's inconsistency has been a problem for the Lakers throughout the season, and he never seemed to recover after the team tried to trade him in December <b>...</b>

Kobe Bryant blames Pau Gasol in post game interview
ryant faulted Gasol for not playing aggressive enough. It was also Gasol's turnover that led to Kevin Durant making the winning 3-pointer with 13.7 seconds left.

He also left no question which teammate deserved the most blame for the 103-100 loss in Game 4. After a dominant first half by Andrew Bynum on Saturday, the Thunder began fronting the Lakers' center with Kendrick Perkins. Bryant thought Gasol didn't attack enough when Serge Ibaka left him to help Perkins. "He's looking to swing the ball too much," Bryant said. "He's got to take his shot." That was the case on the game's most critical possession. After a steal by Steve Blake, Gasol tried to pass to Metta World Peace <b>...</b>

Kevin Durant's Late 3 Breaks Tie, Gives Thunder 3-1 Lead Over Lakers
Kevin Durant's Late 3 Breaks Tie, Gives Thunder 3-1 Lead Over Lakers
Kevin Durant stood above the 3-point line and watched the shot clock dwindle in the final seconds of Game 4. When Metta World Peace backed up slightly on defense, Durant hesitated only an instant before launching a 26-footer. "It left my hand, (and) I was thinking, 'If this doesn't go in, it's going to be a terrible shot,'" Durant said. The three-time scoring champ trusts his instincts and his silky-smooth jumper. Neither let him down while he and Russell Westbrook engineered yet another late comeback that pushed a frustrated Kobe Bryant to the brink. Westbrook scored 10 of his 37 points during a stirring fourth-quarter rally, Durant added 31 points and hit that tiebreaking 3-pointer with 13.7 seconds left, and the Thunder seized control of their second-round series with a 103-100 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night.

Kevin Durant Slows Kobe Bryant Before Stopping the Lakers
Kevin Durant Slows Kobe Bryant Before Stopping the Lakers
Kevin Durant might be listed at 6-feet-9, but an Oklahoma City teammate called the star forward 6-10. And Lakers Coach Mike Brown went so far as to call Durant a 7-footer. No matter, Durant's contribution Saturday was immeasurable in the pivotal Game 4 of the Western Conference best-of-seven semifinal series. Not only did he drain the go-ahead three-pointer with 13.7 seconds left in a 103-100 victory over the Lakers, but he applied stifling defense to Kobe Bryant down the stretch, using his long arms to alter every shot. "The shots I took were tough shots," said Bryant, who made only two of 10 in the final quarter. "I was forced to take tough shots." With about 3 1/2 minutes remaining, when the Lakers led by four, Thunder Coach Scott Brooks made the decision to put Durant on Bryant. "I thought that was the right thing to do at that time," Brooks said. "Kobe was making shots like he always seems to do, but I thought Kevin did a good job of using his length and bothering him." The decision to put Durant on Bryant wasn't a democratic discussion in the Thunder huddle. It was a directive. "There was no conversation," Durant said. "He just told me, 'You get him.' And I had to go guard him. I couldn't tell coach no. I didn't want to back down from the challenge, and I just tried to play as hard as I could. He's an unbelievable scorer, an unbelievable player.
