Treacherous Three From TNT's postgame coverage
Posted: Monday April 24, 2000 01:03 AM
After TNT analyst and former NBA coach P.J. Carlesimo joked with fellow analyst Charles Barkley that the recently retired forward went for those stats against Angola during his tenure with the 1992 Dream Team, Kenny Smith seriously broke down the Lakers' defense. "I don't think the Lakers get enough credit for their defensive intensity. They're able to shut people down. Kobe Bryant has raised his game on the defensive end, and Rick Fox and Robert Horry, coming off the bench, have always been good defenders. And the only reason A.C. Green is starting is because he's a good defender. "So they are a good defensive team, and, along with that offensive power, they're going to be tough to handle."
The Kings found that out the hard way on Sunday.
