Top 3 all from Baltimore - is this an indicator of a big style smackdown by Baltimore or just a good resistance by a few guys?

( 2- 2) Houston Rockets 29 22 33 29 - 113 (Jeff Hornacek 22)
( 2- 2) Baltimore Claws 39 27 36 32 - 134 (Allen Iverson 40)
No point in breaking this one down quarter by quarter - it was over pretty early. The Claws jump on the Drexler-less Rockets from the onset and Iverson ripped them apart. Malone and Paul struggled badly and were outplayed again by AI and Chuckles.
Houston will be very happy to get back home, but will the home cooking be enough? What looked like a walk in the park has turned into a nightmare road trip for Houston and with a three game series (one more without Drexler) who you got now? Has the series tipped towards the Claws?
Don't know :) This writer won't get another crack at UBAL12 so I'll leave you with this... whoever wins game 5 will go on to win the series. Can I guarantee it? Nah, course not, but if the Claws are going to steal one on the Rockets home court it needs to be when Drexler's in street clothes. My prediction is it goes 6...
Great Finals guys - hope it goes 7... even if it means proving self wrong :)
