NBA Live 07 Christmas Day Simulation

Posted: 21 December 06

Using NBA LIVE 07 we ran a simulation of the nationally televised Christmas Day game between the Lakers and Heat. Here are the results follow: Kobe Bryant scored 47 points to lead the LA Lakers to a 98-89 win over the Miami Heat in an NBA LIVE 07 simulation of ABCs upcoming nationally televised Christmas Day game broadcast. NBA LIVE 07 predicted Bryant would lead the Lakers to victory, scoring eight points in the final three minutes, including two clutch three-pointers with the shot clock winding down. Bryant finished with 47 points on 17-of-27 shooting, including 5-of-7 from beyond the arc. He also added six assists and eight rebounds. The Lakers trailed by three at the half, 43-40, but scored 31 points in the decisive third quarter to take a 71-65 lead into the final period. Miami clawed its way to within three points with 3:11 left in the game but Bryant stopped any hope of a Heat comeback by hitting the first of his two back-to-back three-pointers in the final minutes. Bryant nailed his final three-pointer with 1:53 to seal the win. Heat guard Dwyane Wade had 28 points and nine assists and forward Antoine Walker scored 17 points and pulled down five rebounds in a losing effort. Shaquille ONeal was held to nine points, including three in the second half, and pulled down 14 rebounds. Lakers forward Kwame Brown reached double figures in scoring with 14 points and 12 rebounds while Vladimir Radmanovic shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc and scored 18 points.
