* In the third quarter, Jason Thompson flashed to the left elbow extended. He put his hands out to receive the pass from Beno Udrih, who held at the top of the key extended. As Udrih went to pass the ball, Thompson instead flashed inside. Turnover. Instead of hustling back on defense, Beno stood in place to yell at Thompson, who did try to hustle back but was completely behind the play. Easy two for the Lakers.
This wasn't shown on the telecast, but Sam Amick captured it:
Thompson made a bad play by committing for only a half-second … but Udrih made the worse play by allowing an unchallenged lay-up in protest.
Luckily, Udrih had received game-long immunity earlier in the contest based on this orgasmic play.
