6:30 pm
15 in the last two games. shot clock at five. westbrook will try a three -- way off the mark and blake tracks it down. blake has played a big part of this comeback. two minutes remaining in the second overtime. bryant, tough shot -- puts it in. what a difficult shot for kobe bryant. >> jeff: the dirk nowitzki one-foot step-back. give him even a little bit more space against the length of sefolosha. >> mike: westbrook. won't go. ball knocked out of bounds -- officials looking -- and it's going to be laker ball, with 1:40 remaining.
6:31 pm
scottie brooks wants them to review. yeah. ibaka is pointing at hill but i think that was ibaka. the crowd is still alive and on their feet. bryant -- e bank lost it. last touched by perkins. they're going to review this one, though. >> jeff: your defense is no good if you can't finish it off with a defensive rebound. and right now, oklahoma city is not putting bodies on bonds. a lot of that is because big men are coming across to give help on bryant's one -on-one play. but i don't like the way they're not making any contact.
6:32 pm
>> mike: that's close. >> jeff: i'm going to say that's off ebanks. i'm not sure. >> mike: i think so. now, they ruled it laker ball. p perkins -- oh, that's ebanks, absolutely. they'll probably overrule it. with 1:18 remaining. so, so close. both teams probably enjoying this little break in the action. they have extended themselves. the same laker team has been on for the entire fourth quarter. first overtime and sof far, the second o.t., with the exception of kobe bryant, who sat out the first couple of minutes of the
6:33 pm
fourth. the thunder team has been the same, as well. and they are going to reverse the call. that was the right one. >> jeff: again, that's just supremely gifted offense. the one-foot step-back. you can't guard it any better than sefolosha just did. but the ability to create that little extra fade gives him enough to squeeze off the shot. >> mike: lakers with 25 offensive rebounds. the numbers are going to be high because of the overtimes. but that's been critical for them. durant. drives on hill. lay-up -- bank shot, pretty play. game tied again. >> jeff: i don't know if perkins is setting legal screens, but he's setting physical ones.
6:34 pm
he's getting people open on ball screens and on that one, for kevin durant, to get the attack on jordan hill. >> mike: bottom line, they are effective screens. >> jeff: no doubt. >> mike: sefolosha. gri bryant again. knocks it down. big shot after big shot at crunch time. 24 for kobe bryant. westbrook lobs it in. knocked away. ebanks with the steal. here comes bryant. on the race -- and he gets fouled, with 36.9 remaining, he'll shoot two. >> jeff: just great footwork. 22 feet. again, the job step with the right foot, drive sefolosha back just enough to create that window to rise up and stick the
6:35 pm
jumper. >> mike: through three quarters, he was really struggling, as he hears the "mvp" chants. he's 6 of 12 since the fourth quarter, including clutch three-pointers. and the lead is up to three. devin ebanks with a big defensive play down the other end. ebanks and hill with big-time minutes. four-point lead. time-out, thunder. still plenty of time for oklahoma city. especially the way this roller coast coaster's been going. terrific crunch time performance from kobe bryant.
6:36 pm
brilliant down the stretch of this game. clutch shot after clutch shot. and with 36.9 remaining in the second overtime, thunder ball when we come back. and on small business saturday they remind a nation of the benefits of shopping small. on just one da 100 million of us joined a movement... and main street found its might again. and main street found its fight again. and we, the locals, found light again. that's the power of all of us. that's the power of all of us. that's the membership effect of american express. at theime i was representing an artist, the record label had asked me, we need a tour and we need social mededia numbers to go u. i said what about a social media tour. i'm usually on the web on my blackberry, i'll just sort of scout, finding the next big thing. the intern comes alive on this phone. my blackberry is always in my hand.
6:37 pm
i get somewhere around 1,000 emails a day. try writing a thousand emails on a touch screen. [ male announcer ] blackberry bold. be bold. >> mike: laker fans with reason to celebrate. they've watched their team overcome an 18-point second half deficit, now lead by four here in the second overtime. the thunder with the ball, though, with still plenty of time left. the all-stars in this game, they have not shot the ball well to say the least. >> jeff: and oklahoma city has to try to get off a two for one. they want to get a shot off in the first four seconds of this possession. so, if they make it, they don't have to play the foul game. >> mike: sefolosha this time to in-bound. westbrook did the last time. durant comes off a screen. the three-pointer -- won't go. ibaka the rebound and is fouled.
6:38 pm
not in the penalty, though, so, the thunder will take it out of bounds. first foul in the last two minutes. >> jeff: ebanks is trying to shoot the gap, which is giving durant time and space to get off the wide open shots. he's just not making them. >> mike: westbrook. bad pass. stolen by ebanks. and then westbrook fouls ebanks. two clutch steals from devin ebanks. in perhaps his finest moment as a laker. ebanks and jordan hill. great contributions this afternoon. >> jeff: and that's the second turnover in the last couple of possessions on pick and rolls. there's just no spacing right there to make a play. >> mike: so ebanks to the line. he's only shot 25 free throws this season.
6:39 pm
before today. hits that one. he's now 5 of 9. he has more free throws down the stretch. and he's made great plays in the o.t. largest lead of the game for the lakers. a game they trail almost the entire contest. clutch free throws there. time-out, thunder. six-point game with 24.5 remaining. what would be a fantastic come from behind win for the lakers if they can hold on.
6:40 pm
>> mike: six-point laker lead. it's the thunder ball with 24.5 seconds remaining in the second overtime. oklahoma city still has a time-out. all right, jeff, their strategy. do they need to go for the three right away? >> jeff: no, but you want to put yourself -- they downsize to put cook in the game. you want to give yourself a chance on a penetration to space the floor so you can get the three. that's the only way back in. >> mike: durant on the drive. gets down. inside -- shot won't go but a foul. durant will go to the free-throw line. jordan hill picks up his fifth foul. >> jeff: and durant was just
6:41 pm
like mugged. oh, my. >> mike: they've let them play like that. perkins with the screens. ebanks was rolling on durant. the officials have been so consistent at both ends. durant hits the free-throw line. well, it wasn't a playoff-like atmosphere for three and a half quarters, but it certain little turned into one, much to the chagrin of scottie brooks. his team looks unbelievable for most of the game until the lakers turned it around. well, they've got to foul. and they foul steve blake. la he's not been to the free-throw line this afternoon. 78% from the free-throw line this season. always been a good frfee throw shooter. again, ebanks, blake and hill have played the entire fourth
6:42 pm
quarter and overtime. lead back up to five. 18.2 remaining. look to be a tough one for the thunder to stomach. but more importantly, terrific win for the lakers, if they can hold on. durant's going to try again. not that time. rebound. quickly fouled by westbrook. and that will do it. and a standing ovation, much deserved from the lake earls, who battle back in what would be their biggest comeback win of the season. >> jeff: i give ebanks a lot of credit. started at the first of the year, then put into hibernation.
6:43 pm
and that can be very difficult to keep your spirits up, your work ethic up. when he was given a chance tonight, it wasn't perfect, but it was really, really good. the same thing with jordan hill. >> mike: gasol, 20 points, 14 rebounds, nine assists. westbrook will bring it up. eight-point game. sefolosha will try a three. that won't go. rebound blake, and that will do it. the lakers with their biggest comeback victory of the season. what a performance down the stretch from kobe bryant. and an unlikely bunch of lakers. steve blake was marvelous. jordan hill. devin ebanks. mike brown has to be thrilled with his team's victory, as they will hold onto that third spot in the western conference.
6:44 pm
meanwhile, a tough loss for the thunder, a key for them, though, the injury to james harden, hopefully that concussion or perhaps the concussion won't president toot serious. bryant, now with lisa salters. >> lisa: thank you, mike. kobe, you had a nice moment with mike brown just now. what did he say to you? >> well, you know, just basically said, way to keep the guys calm, though we were down by a lot, just kept our poise, kept my poise and kept chipping away. >> lisa: what changed for you guys. you were down 18 at one point. >> well, i felt like we executed much better defensively in that area there. we really blew a lot of coverage and rotation. for that stretch, we played very well. thank you. thank you. >> lisa: that was diane carroll. it's l.a. >> she's been a dieheaard forev. >> lisa: describe devin and jordan hill, they played all the foufrt quarter and both overtimes. >> devin, you know, he really grew up tonight. he had a tough match-up with
6:45 pm
kevin. and he paid attention in film session and he came out, he executed extremely well. jordan's been waiting for his moment, and it was tonight, against a very big and athletic team against oklahoma, he did well. >> lisa: thank you. cop garage laxs. mike? >> mike: unlikely heroes for the lakers. and certainly unexpected here role, as kobe bryant and the lakers with the double overtime victory against the oklahoma city thunder. can't wait free throw the playoffs. for jeff and lisa and our crew, mike breen saying so long from l.a. stay tuned for abc's "world news," or your local news over most of these stations. thank you for watching abc, home of the nba finals.
