The Lakers need the Dwight Howard to step his game up if they want to win. Who played their best in Game 1? Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan defeated the Lakers in Game 1.

Howard thinks there's one thing the Lakers have to do to win in Game 2:

"We've got to make shots," Howard said. "We have to make shots. We got some good looks. Both of the Steves had some good looks; I think they will knock down those shots in this game."

The Lakers supposedly have a new attack for the Spurs in Game 2. "We cleaned up our offense, how to the get the ball inside-out," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We added some new wrinkles, and defensively, be sure to go over the stuff that didn't work and the stuff that might come up."

As mentioned previously, Ginobili played well and he's now a part of the Lakers' game plan.

Stopping Ginobili.

"I don't think anybody has come up with it yet," D'Antoni said. "We're not going to invent it over the last two days. He's just a big-game time player, always has been, that's been his M.O. since I've known him in Italy. Just have to work it. He's like Parker and Duncan, there is no real defense, there's containment, try to hope he doesn't kill you with a timely 3 and all that. Again he did all that, we scored 80-something points."
