Rashard Lewis was a no-show (2 of 10 from the field) and he missed a 15-footer with less than 40 seconds to play that would have pushed the lead to 7. Then, of course, there's Jameer Nelson's brainshart of not bothering to cover Derek Fisher on his game-tying three. There's a ton of blame to go around -- the only guy who played great was Turkoglu and even he bricked three free throws down the stretch. Ugh.

The fact of the matter is that Dwight Howard's missed freethrows cost the game... they were clutch shots and they should have dropped.
