During the NBA playoffs, ABC color commentator Mark Jackson has been repeating one of his trademark lines, "Mama, there goes that man." Tonight in game four, that man was Derek Fisher.
It appeared that the Orlando Magic were in full control going into the second half and only eleven seconds away from tying the series at 2-2. Then Derek Fisher reared his head and hit one of the biggest shots of his career. When the ball left Fisher's hand, time stopped for Orlando fans who could smell victory. The Lakers turned into Cinderella before midnight struck to continue their winning ways.
Fisher's calm under pressure has signified his career with the Lakers and their run early in 2000's. Give credit to Phil Jackson who decided to stay with him even though he was having a less than stellar series.
Now the Lake-Show is one win away from title number 15. Derek Fisher appeared to not be the answer to the question of who would step up but he answered it anyway.
Derek Fisher = Clutch, Lakers one win away from a title
