Spoelstra's outstanding performance ensured that the Warriors would not lose the series due to that 10% factor.
This also heralded that this round of the series would be the ultimate showdown between star players.
Most teams facing Roger would start to doubt themselves when trailing 0-2, essentially sentencing themselves to defeat.
But Kobe did not.
In Game 3 of the series, the match returned to the Staples Center.
Even in Los Angeles, there were quite a few fans holding signs saying, "Send this rapist to jail."
Although such signs were quickly confiscated, it was enough to show how unpopular Kobe was now.
In fact, Kobe had just rushed back to the Staples Center this afternoon from the court in Colorado.
