That fourth quarter was abysmal, I hope Byron Scott gave it to them for just giving up defensively at the end...good teams just don't do that. On top of that, if they lost it would have been absolutely devastating.
But, you at least have that luxury when you jump to an early lead. For a lot of the past month, they've been winning games, but coming from behind to do so. You just saw why an early lead > coming from behind.
