Grant had the advantage of being able to use his strength in plays against Rick, but Grant also knew that he couldn't try to move too close to the painted area, after all, Dennis Rodman and Shaquille O'Neal were always looking at him and they would stop him.

The game remained balanced and at the end of the first quarter the Los Angeles Lakers team was winning with a small advantage in points, in that first quarter, Jake played for 12 minutes and had 8 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals.

"The first quarter ends and the Los Angeles Lakers team is winning the game, this start of the game seemed balanced, but it seems that the Los Angeles Lakers team can play better than that and is using the strategy we know."

"It's true, we could see that Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are playing well in that game and when they are playing well the Los Angeles Lakers team get the win."
