Ouch!

Game 3

Unfortunately Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets was injured this game, he allegedly has a sore left foot, that of which could possibly be broken, and Artest was ejected from the game with 43.6 seconds left. But onto better news, the Lakers won with a score of 108-94, and Derek Fisher returned to the scenes.

The OC Register pointed out Kobe's 33 point score, as he blocked two shots against 7-foot-6 Yoa Ming. They also state that, "With 43.6 seconds left Artest brought back the tenor of Game 2 and was ejected for a type-two flagrant foul when he flattened Pau Gasol with a hard and high hit." ESPN reports Kobe's 3-pointer from 33 feet at the end of the third quarter. The LA Times clarifies that the foul Artest made on Pau Gasol was downgraded from a one-game suspension to a flagarant one. Meaning he will play in Game 4.
