Trevor Ariza Finds Some Sweet Revenge

Found June 12, 2009 on FanHouse:
PLAYERS: Trevor Ariza,  Derek Fisher
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers

Ariza-posey
by Tim PovtakFiled under: Lakers, Magic, PlayoffsORLANDO -- The Magic traded Trevor Ariza to the Lakers early last season because they didn't think he was a good enough outside shooter for the kind of team they were trying to build. Ariza came back to haunt them Thursday night, shooting them right out of the NBA Finals. Ariza, who has been relatively quiet through the first three games of this series, delivered a game-changing performance in the second half Thursday night. He didn't hit the biggest shots of the game - that was Derek Fisher - but he hit the shots and made the plays that set the stage.Trevor Ariza Finds Some Sweet Revenge originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:10:00 EDT .
