A buried but interesting finals stat line: D.Fish -- FG made-attempted 21-42 [.500]; 3-PT attempted-made 7-16 [.438]; perfect from the line; 6-6. When Orlando doubled off Fisher he nailed the open shot. If the approach was make Fisher beat you, he did.
One thing the Lakers' win-in-five finals did was to make Denver look like quite a strong team, and George Karl like a very outstanding coach. Denver did well without being as big as the Lakers inside and the anticipation was with Howard and Lewis and the three-point game Orlando would do even better. Not so. Not at all.
