Bynum huge in Game 3; ignored down stretch
Andrew Bynum - C - Los Angeles Lakers
May 7, 2011 - 12:40 AM ET
Andrew Bynum was a monster in Friday's Game 3 loss to the Mavs, scoring 21 points on 9-of-16 shooting with 10 rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 37 minutes.
Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant will be criticized for not involving him down the stretch, as he was controlling the game and keeping Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas bigs occupied. For as much as Pau Gasol's stock has fallen during these playoffs, Bynum's has had an opposite effect.
