A victory that came from a concerted defensive effort. 3 Lakers had 3 steals-- Ellis, Odom, Gasol. Pressure on the ball carriers made it difficult for the Heat to find their offensive rhythm.

Lakers have taken a 3-0 lead in the series largely due to two factors. First, Joakim Noah has come into his own as an offensive threat, leading the team in each game in points. After Game 3, Noah said "I think they underestimated me. They played up on Monta and Kobe, but I was able to create some opportunities with some good looks down low."

Secondly the Lakers implemented a big lineup of Odom (at SF), Wallace (on Bosh), and Noah/Gasol (at C) which the Heat had trouble dealing with. After Game 1, the Lakers made this adjustment and for all intents and purposes have made Bosh a non-factor in Games 2 and 3. Coach Phil Jackson said "We knew they had three threats, and they could beat us if all three were having hot games. Lebron can't beat us by himself."

Will the Lakers continue their winning ways? They are up 3-0 but the Heat won't just take this lying down...
