I want a mason jersey so bad now,The lakers arent chest bumping now.
I thought the Spurs should have trapped the last two plays to get the ball out of Kobe's hand, Manu did come on the last play to help Mase but all in all thanks Mason for hitting that shot, I thought the refs didn't call a foul.

btw that was a foul on manu and ariza took 2 steps but spurs deserved this.
Holy crap! What a game to have on January
Two things:
1) Kobe has got balls the size of mount rushmore, there are no two ways around that.
and
2) Mason is ing CLUTCH!!
wtf is van dummy talking about thats not a travel?
Nice hip check by Manu.
Van Gundy STFU
A call is a call
HOLY now thats some basketball. Just an amazing game
What a win, LOL at Kobe having a -fit leaving the floor, what a ..
see if you can post a pic of it
Yep, Ariza pushed him
And after that phantom travel call on Ariza and actual Manu foul, Spur fans can't complain about the Lakers always getting the calls.
It goes both ways.
And that fouled called on mason earlier in the game wasnt a foul. This evens it out.
Big shot Rog, it's official, that is his nickname from now on, Big shot Rog!
duncan's rotate defense sucked balls. mason owns.
Four comes before five.
Not in the 4th. Spurs played well but damn LA was hot in the 4th.
very impressed with lakers. not defensively but neither were the spurs, but to make it a game given the injuries and heavy minutes from the guards to almost steal a game is crazy. hopefully our health improves for future matches to make it even against spurs
According to my new PVR, 3 steps
Props to Lakers. I hate Kobe still
you Kobe
Suck my balls MOFO
It's ing Money Mason
Final: Spurs 112, Lakers 111

Roger Mason Jr. completed a three-point play with 10.5 seconds left off an inbounds pass and the Spurs' defense came through on the final possession of a 112-111 victory over the Lakers.
Mason and Manu Ginobili double-teamed Kobe Bryant on the Lakers' last possession. Bryant passed the ball to Trevor Ariza, who drove but was surrounded by the Spurs' inside defenders. Ariza traveled the Spurs got the ball back with less than a second left.
Kobe Bryant made a 3-pointer to put the Lakers in front 111-109 with 12.0 seconds left in the game. Spurs timeout.
The Lakers' Trevor Ariza made a tip-in, then Tim Duncan made one of two free throws. The Spurs lead 105-102 with 3:08 left.

The Spurs hit the 100-point mark with 8:04 left in the game on a George Hill jumper. That gave the Spurs their biggest lead at 100-89. Kobe Bryant was on the bench early in the quarter but he is about to come back in.
Michael Finley, who was scoreless the first three quarters, completed a three-point play with 11:18 left. The Spurs lead 98-89 with 8:59 left.

THIRD QUARTER
Manu Ginobili scored six points in the last 12 seconds of the third quarter, three free throws and a 3-pointer, and the Spurs take a 95-87 lead into the fourth quarter. Ginobili has 25 points.
George Hill hasn't had many shots tonight, but he has been making them when he gets the chance. His 3-pointer with 1:12 left gave him eight points and put the Spurs ahead 89-80 - their biggest lead so far.
The teams are trading shot for shot. Tim Duncan has six points in the first nine minutes of the second half and the Spurs lead 82-79. Andrew Bynum has the Lakers' last two baskets.
Roger Mason Jr. hit a 3-pointer and a jumper and Tony Parker added a jumper. The Spurs lead 70-63 early in the second half. While the Spurs have had trouble matching up with the Lakers' big men, but Lakers haven't been able to keep up with all the Spurs' perimeter scorers.

There was a familiar sight to start the second quarter: The Spurs' Bruce Bowen standing next to Kobe Bryant. When Bryant went to the bench with 9:10 left in the second quarter, Bowen was replaced by Roger Mason Jr.
FIRST QUARTER
Manu Ginobili had a steal, a fast-break dunk and a driving basket all in the last 20 seconds and George Hill made two free throws with 0.1 second left as the Spurs finished the quarter with a 30-29 lead.

The Spurs can't stop the Lakers' big men. Pau Gasol hit 6 of 7 and has 12 points. Andrew Bynum has four and the Lakers lead 20-15.
Kobe Bryant recorded his first basket at the 5:19 mark. It looked like Roger Mason Jr. had good defensive position at Bryant was driving, but Bryant pulled back and shot over Mason.
Both teams are off to a hot start and the Spurs lead 13-10. Pau Gasol scored the Lakers' first eight points.
Roger Mason Jr. got the defensive assignment on Kobe Bryant. Four-plus minutes into the game Mason has five points on a 3-pointer and a jumper. Bryant hasn't scored yet.
PREGAME
Spurs starters: Tony Parker, Roger Mason Jr., Michael Finley, Matt Bonner and Tim Duncan.
UPDATE: The Lakers' Jordan Farmar and Luke Walton are inactive tonight. Both have been injured. Sasha Vujacic is on the active list but is out with an injury also. Lamar Odom returned from injury in time for Tuesday's game against Houston and is active for tonight.
It seemed like there were as many Lakers jerseys as Spurs jerseys on the folks wandering around the concourse before the game. There was a loud road when the Lakers hit the floor - both cheers and boos. This might be the liveliest crowd we've had so far this season.
What?? Get the out you hater. Try to lose with some dignity
Wow, Mason is Gervin's son with his cold blood killer instinct!
Even thought we played bad in the 4th I like our ability to win close games, especially against the best team in the nba =p
