If Kobe's gamewinner in game 1 went in, what would the series be right now?

You're done.

I'm goin' back in, but, I won. And nobody can take that away from me.

It was a good look for Kobe, but it shouldn't even have come to that, from the Lakers' point of view. Very unlike the Lakers to give away a lead like that and to play as bad down the stretch as they did in Game 3. So yeah, it easily could have been 2-1 Lakers, but it isn't, and the Mavs just have been the better team when it matters in this series.
