It was happening again. You were sitting in the same chair, in the same room, watching the same television, and there were the same Lakers, the three-peating Lakers, getting all the calls down the stretch, apparently rescuing a game you thought was long over.
This was deja Laker blue. Los Angeles was creeping back into Game 3 of this series with Minnesota, the same way it crept into Game 6 last year in Los Angeles when it was playing the Sacramento Kings.
Different year. Different officiating crew.

Kevin Garnett is easy to embrace as the prototypical basketball player of the new millennium.
He has impeccable perimeter skills for someone so tall, plus a certain ruggedness.
He can shoot over the top of the defense or he can plant his back to the basket and shoot in the jaws of the defense. He is not afraid to mix it up. He is a vacuum cleaner on the glass and versatile enough to defend all five positions.
There is really nothing not to like about Garnett, except for his manner in calling it a season.
