I didn't even notice Pau had so many rebounds. But now that I think of it, he did come up with a lot of big boards. Props to him in that department, but he needs to add some muscle this offseason. He was getting abused all game by Duncan

Gasol also had 4 blocks, and 5 assists. He also held Duncan to 7-19 shooting (37%). Quiet game for Gasol, but I guess he actually wasn't so bad, if you ignore the offense
Paraphrasing Phil Jackson, Gasol is a weenie when taking shots. (He doesn't take it hard, he is uber soft)
I thought Jordan Farmar was the spark to get us back in the game. He went nuts in the 2nd quarter to lead the comeback and made some amazing layups in traffic. The reverse layup and the alley oop he got from Luke were spectacular. I'm glad he's rebounded after the embarrassment he was in the Utah series. Gasol put a dagger in the Spurs on the put back dunk he had near the end of the game. The Spurs never recovered from it and he made it a 3 possession game without enough time for the Spurs to catch up.
Farmar was huge, but I don't think he was the spark. When Pop took the timeout after Farmar went on the 6-0 run, we fell back down again. We didn't close it until what? 2:40 left in the 2nd quarter? I do agree, though. Nice to see Farmar have a decent series (he sucked on the road).
