Atlanta is at its best when they're freewheeling and running, but when they are forced into half court sets, their players tend to stand around and watch. Penetration drives and kick-outs are the extent of their offense and in the third period, shots began to fall short which then allowed the Lakers to unleash their transition game. With Kobe gaining the majority of the attention, Bynum got free for easy jams when the weak-side help was forced to react. Another Kobe steal found him going the other way 1-on-2 and he found a wide-open trailer in Ron Artest with a behind the back pass for a left-handed slam. Artest followed that up with a steal of his own and a breakaway two-handed jam, and Atlanta was forced to call time-out to try to stem the tide. The Lakers performed a dunkfest in the 3rd period mainly off of careless Hawks turnovers. The Lakers used a 18-0 run to break the game wide open and it seemed as though the Hawks had just as many turnovers in that span.

They nearly blew a huge lead in the 4th quarter. Without Kobe in the 4th, Lakers lose that game.
