Lakers Look to Clinch

Foul, or no foul, the San Antonio Spurs are in bad shape heading into the fifth game of their Western Conference Finals contest with the Los Angeles Lakers. Trying to steal one game in L.A. would be a difficult task. Trying to steal two is almost impossible.

The Lakers are favored in tonight's contest by eight points and the total is at 194. The public is behind the Spurs, as roughly two-thirds of the money wagered is on Tim Duncan and company.
