Upstream ( petroleum industry ) - wikipedia Upstream ( petroleum industry ) Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Upstream ( disambiguation ) . The oil and gas industry is usually divided into three major sectors : upstream ( or exploration and production - E&P ) , midstream and downstream . The upstream sector includes searching for potential underground or underwater crude oil and natural gas fields , drilling exploratory wells , and subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring the crude oil or raw natural gas to the surface . There has been a significant shift toward including unconventional gas as a part of the upstream sector , and corresponding developments in liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) processing and transport . Upstream Industry has traditionally experienced the highest number of Mergers , Acquisitions and Divestitures . M&A activity for upstream oil and gas deals in 2012 totaled $254 billion in 679 deals . A large chunk of this M&A , 33 % in 2012 , was driven by the unconventional / shale boom especially in the US followed by the Russian Federation and Canada . The aggregate value of Upstream E&P assets available for sale ( Deals in Play ) reached a record - high of $135 billion in Q3 - 2013 . The value of Deals in Play doubled from $46 billion in 2009 to $90 billion in 2010 . With ongoing M&A activity the level remained almost the same reaching $85 billion in Dec - 2012 . However , the first half of 2013 saw approximately $48 billion of net new assets coming on the market . Remarkably , the total value of Deals in Play in Q3 - 2013 nearly tripled over 2009 at $46 billion , in less than four years .

Merle Dixon - wikipedia Merle Dixon Jump to : navigation , search fictional character Merle Dixon The Walking Dead character First appearance `` Guts '' ( 1.02 ) November 7 , 2010 Last appearance `` This Sorrowful Life '' ( 3.15 ) March 24 , 2013 Created by Frank Darabont Portrayed by Michael Rooker Information Occupation Criminal Drug dealer Woodbury enforcer Family Will Dixon ( father ) Daryl Dixon ( brother ) Merle Dixon is a fictional character from the horror drama television series The Walking Dead , which airs on AMC in the United States . He was created by series developer Frank Darabont and portrayed by Michael Rooker . The character was first introduced in the first season as a Southern redneck hunter who has a younger brother , Daryl . He is misogynistic and racist , which causes tensions between him and his group of survivors . Following an encounter with series protagonist Rick Grimes , Merle disappears and joins the community of Woodbury , Georgia , where he becomes the right - hand man of The Governor . He becomes caught in the conflict between the Governor and Rick , especially when nobody in Rick 's group wants him in the group , except for Daryl . The character 's introduction garnered negative reviews from professional critics , but fan response was positive . When the character reappears in the third season , reviewers began to have more favorable views towards him . Merle is an original character in the television series and shares no counterpart in the comic books . He is also a main character in the 2013 video game The Walking Dead : Survival Instinct , which focuses on him and Daryl during the early days of the zombie apocalypse . Rooker made guest appearances as Merle in the series ' first and second seasons , before he was upgraded to a series regular for the third season , where he lost a significant amount of weight in preparation for the role . Rooker was among the cast members who were awarded the Satellite Award for Best Cast -- Television Series in 2012 .

Having no mother and a neglectful and abusive father , Merle raised Daryl when not incarcerated in juvenile detention . Though the length of time and military occupational specialty are not stated , Merle served in the United States Marine Corps , where at some point he mouthed off to a non-commissioned officer and subsequently punched five of his teeth out . According to Shane and Daryl , Merle was a drug dealer before the outbreak . He is also shown to have been a drug user ( e.g. , in `` Guts '' and `` This Sorrowful Life '' ) . Season 1 ( edit ) Merle first appears in the episode `` Guts '' , along with a group of survivors who had traveled into Atlanta to scavenge for supplies . While atop a department store roof , Merle begins firing a rifle at walkers on the street while the group demands that he stop . Merle insults T - Dog ( IronE Singleton ) , and subsequently beats T - Dog in a brief , intense fight . After momentarily announcing himself leader of the group , Merle is blind - sided by Rick Grimes ( Andrew Lincoln ) , who punches him and handcuffs him to a pipe before Merle can fight back . Merle is put under T - Dog 's watch while the other survivors attempt to find a way out of the city . When the survivors do find a way out , T - Dog attempts to save Merle , but accidentally drops the handcuff keys into a vent ; this forces him to abandon Merle on the roof . Before T - Dog flees , he chains the rooftop door shut to prevent walkers from getting Merle . In the next episode `` Tell It to the Frogs '' , as walkers begin to invade the building and reach the chained rooftop door , Merle struggles until he notices a hacksaw by the spilled toolbox the others had left behind . He uses his belt to reach the hacksaw and ultimately cuts off his own hand to escape , as the hacksaw blade was too dull to cut through the handcuffs . Rick and the group return to the camp and explain to Daryl that they abandoned Merle . Daryl , T - Dog , Rick and Glenn ( Steven Yeun ) decide to return to Atlanta to retrieve him as well as a bag of weapons Rick dropped downtown . Returning to the department store roof , the four see that Merle has severed his own hand with a dull hacksaw . In the next episode `` Vatos '' , the four find evidence that Merle survived the self - mutilation by cauterizing the wound . They follow Merle 's blood - trail through the department store but are unable to find him . Back outside , they discover their truck has been taken . Rick feels that the truck might have been stolen by Merle during his escape . Season 2 ( edit ) Merle appears as a hallucination to Daryl . Merle remains missing throughout the second season . He only appears in the episode `` Chupacabra '' , wherein Merle taunts and mocks Daryl in a hallucination for giving up on searching for him and reminds Daryl that he is in a group that had left Merle for dead on the rooftop . Merle also berates Daryl for a perceived weakness that Merle blames on the time Daryl has spent with the group . Season 3 ( edit ) In the episode `` Walk with Me '' , Merle is found to be living in Woodbury , where he has earned the status of the Governor 's right - hand man . He has fashioned a knife attachment onto the stump where his hand used to be . He has been hoping to find his brother , Daryl , since his own separation from the group . While investigating an incident involving a crashed helicopter , Merle and a group of survivors from Woodbury encounter Michonne and fellow Atlanta survivor Andrea , and bring them back to Woodbury , along with the sole survivor of the helicopter crash . In the episode `` Killer Within '' , Andrea gives Merle directions to the last location where she had seen Daryl . Merle is noticeably kept in line by the Governor , a sharp contrast to his nature in the Atlanta group . In the episode `` Hounded '' , Merle allows Michonne to leave Woodbury at the Governor 's orders , but in the next episode , `` Say the Word '' , the Governor sends Merle to lead a posse to hunt down Michonne . He wounds her and she kills members of the posse , but when Michonne escapes into the red zone , Merle calls off the hunt , reporting to the Governor that he killed her . Later on , Merle runs into Glenn and Maggie from the Atlanta group . He asks them to take him to Daryl . They refuse , so he holds Maggie hostage and demands Glenn drive them to Woodbury . In the episode `` When the Dead Come Knocking '' , Merle unsuccessfully tortures Glenn to obtain the location of the group , including beating Glenn and leaving him locked in a room with a walker and tied to a chair . In the episode `` Made to Suffer '' , Rick 's group infiltrates Woodbury and rescues Glenn and Maggie , Michonne attacks the Governor ; furious at losing an eye and his reanimated daughter to a woman Merle reported as dead , he publicly accuses Merle of treason and reveals that he has captured Daryl . In the episode `` The Suicide King '' , the Governor orders Merle and Daryl to fight to the death , but they are saved by Rick and Maggie , who attack Woodbury . When Merle begins to insult the group , Rick knocks him out . Rick 's group decides not to include Merle because of his attitude and his transgressions against Maggie and Glenn , but Daryl opts to leave the group to join Merle , refusing to leave his brother behind again . Merle and Daryl spend time fending for themselves in the woods . In the episode `` Home '' , they come across a family being attacked by walkers and Merle half - heartedly assists in Daryl 's efforts to rescue them . Merle then attempts to rob them , but Daryl points his crossbow at him and lets the family drive off before walking off on his own . Merle follows and they get into a physical confrontation , where the depth of their father 's abuse is shown when Merle inadvertently exposes scars on Daryl 's back . Merle realizes that his leaving home resulted in Daryl becoming the target of their father 's abuse . It is also revealed that the brothers had originally planned to rob the Atlanta group . Daryl then leaves to go back to the prison , despite Merle 's claims that the group will never accept him . The brothers arrive at the prison at the tail - end of an assault by the Governor and his men , who have crashed a truck through the prison gate and unleashed a horde of walkers onto the prison grounds . Merle and Daryl save Rick from attacking walkers . In the episode `` I Ai n't a Judas '' , Merle is promptly locked inside a prison cell , where he shares what he knows about Woodbury and the Governor with the group . He bonds with Hershel and apologizes to Michonne , claiming his attack on her was simply following the Governor 's orders . Later , Merle , hearing Beth 's singing , walks into the cell block where he and Rick share an antagonizing look from across the room . In the episode `` Arrow on the Doorpost '' , Merle unsuccessfully tries to get the prison group to attack the Governor after fighting Glenn . He later tries to get Michonne to join him with his mission . In the penultimate season three episode `` This Sorrowful Life '' , Rick confides in Merle , Daryl , and Hershel that the Governor promises to leave the prison alone if they hand over Michonne . Rick plans to do as the Governor requests and asks Merle to help deliver Michonne to the meeting place at noon . Merle , knowing that Rick will not go through with it , traps and ties up Michonne . However , after he and Michonne talk about personal matters , he lets her go and returns her katana , telling her he has something to do alone . He starts drinking whiskey before using loud music to lure a group of walkers to the exchange site where the Governor is waiting to ambush whoever will show up . The music also distracts the Governor 's henchmen while Merle secretly takes cover , intent on killing the Governor both for revenge and to prevent him from killing anyone else at the prison , mainly Daryl . After shooting several of the henchmen , Merle is caught and beaten by Martinez and two other men and then , injured and winded , fights one - on - one with the Governor . The Governor gets the upper hand and bites off two of Merle 's fingers . A wounded Merle then yells that he will not beg for mercy before the Governor shoots him in the chest with a pistol . Later on , Daryl , who left the prison to track down Merle and Michonne after Rick noticed them missing , finds Michonne unhurt and continues on to the exchange site , where he sees a reanimated Merle eating Ben 's corpse . Daryl breaks down in tears and pushes his reanimated brother away more than once before stabbing him repeatedly in the head , killing him for good . Development and reception ( edit ) Actor Michael Rooker described his thoughts on the role : `` Merle is a survivor of the Zombie Apocalypse . And you can tell when you first meet him that even before all the shit went down he was kind of an asshole . We do n't play a lot of it up in our portrayal but he 's the kind of person where you 're not really sure if he should be in charge ... if he would be a good leader or not , though he certainly thinks he is . '' Merle was one of a number of characters introduced in the second episode of the series , `` Guts '' . Kirkman was pleased with Rooker 's performance , retorting that it was `` ' The Michael Rooker Show ' for one solid episode . '' I actually got a chance to hang out with him and he 's a totally awesome guy . He always plays bad guys and psychos and it 's weird , because he 's this really boisterous , friendly guy . But yeah , his character is very important to the life of the show . He 's a completely original character that was never in the comic . He 's kind of the first human that they come across where it 's like , ' Hey , this guy 's really dangerous . ' Also Michael Rooker likes to ad - lib . He got us over our cursing limit a couple of times . I think it was a bit of a pain in the a -- for the post production people . Eric Goldman of IGN disliked the introduction of Merle , calling him `` ridiculous '' . Leonard Pierce of The A.V. Club commented that `` Merle is a huge sore thumb in the middle of the episode : behaving like no one in his situation ever would , his character seems to exist for no other reason than to cause dramatically convenient trouble . '' In his review of the next episode , `` Tell It to the Frogs '' , Pierce notes that even though `` Merle is a racist asshole who might have gotten everyone killed , in a world where the only real distinction is between the living and the dead , leaving him to be torn apart leaves a bit of a bad taste in everyone 's mouth . '' Rooker confirmed his appearance in the second - season episode `` Chupacabra '' at the 2011 Aliens to Zombies Convention at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood , California . `` Nobody expected this level of Merle worship , '' he articulated . `` He 's such an out - there , crazy , anything goes kind of guy . There 's an uncertainty about Merle -- like he 'll come back when you least expect it . He 's the boogeyman , and viewers love that suspense . The number one question I 'm asked is , ' When is your character coming back ? ' I ca n't say when , but I promise it 'll be a wild ride . '' Writer Robert Kirkman insisted that Rooker was a delight during production , and hoped that he would regularly appear on The Walking Dead . Rooker initially estimated that he lost 20 pounds preparing for his return in the third season , and later tallied he had lost 28 pounds . Zack Handlen , writing for The A.V. Club , commented that `` Merle was a terrible character , all dumb hick stereotypes and bluster '' but that in his return in the season 's third episode `` Walk with Me '' , `` while still unquestionably a son of a bitch , is easier to take , less overtly awful , and more imposing '' . HitFix writer Alan Sepinwall commented that the Woodbury scenes in the next episode `` Killer Within '' `` continue to demonstrate the pull a man like the Governor would have over Merle '' , but Zack Handlen 's review of the episode for The A.V. Club noted that Merle 's interactions with the Governor introduce some tension between them . In his review of the episode `` Hounded '' , Handlen notes that Merle 's motivations `` seem to shift a bit to justify whatever the story needs him to do . But that 's probably intentional ; for all the Governor 's calm planning , Merle is a hothead , an asshole who thinks he 's a leader , and so he 's going to keep making impulse decisions until one of those decisions gets him killed . '' Erik Kain , for Forbes magazine , described the Governor 's betrayal of Merle in the mid-season finale `` Made to Suffer '' as a surprise he did n't see coming , while Zack Handlen 's review of the episode called the betrayal `` almost too perfectly designed ( ... ) It 's not completely unbelievable ; it 's just not as believable , or intense , as it should have been . '' In his review of the third season 's mid-season premiere episode `` The Suicide King '' , Darren Franich of Entertainment Weekly wrote , `` I think The Walking Dead has sort of bungled the reintroduction of Merle Dixon . It was always a stretch that Merle would just happen to find the Grimes Gang again , considering the sheer lonely expanse in the new zombie - infested world . '' Zack Handlen called the episode 's opening `` a decent sequence '' which put the cliffhanger 's high stakes aside , partly because Merle and Daryl made it out alive . Eric Goldman at IGN specifically praised the performance of Michael Rooker in `` This Sorrowful Life '' , the final appearance of Merle . Zack Handlen called the episode 's last scene `` a good one , and it leads to the terrific final confrontation between Daryl and zombie Merle that makes up for a lot '' . Handlen commented : `` I 'm not sure I buy or even understand Merle 's change of heart , given how inconsistent the character has been . In his conversations with Michonne , we 're being sold the idea that he 's deeply conflicted about all the murdering he 's done , and that he 's had something like a change of heart since joining the prison group . Which does n't really fit into anything , although at least now Merle 's gradual integration with the main ensemble makes a little more sense ; he was n't supposed to be a monster , just a messed up asshole who eventually had enough regrets to try and do the right thing . There 's no background for this , and no real depth to Merle apart from Michael Rooker 's performance ( and Rooker is almost single - handedly responsible for any consistency the character ever had ) . '' He also felt that with Merle letting Michonne go , `` it 's nice to have a character actually behave better than you were expecting them to for once . And everything else with Merle from then on is great , from the scene with him drinking whiskey and using rock music to attract a herd of walkers , to his ambush of the Woodbury group that was waiting to ambush Rick , to the fight with the Governor . And , of course , the last bit , with Daryl finally finding his brother after it 's too late to save him . While the show so often struggles with finding emotion or resonance in its conversations ( ... ) there are still wordless exchanges like this , with Daryl sobbing as he stabs Merle again and again and again . There 's no real complexity to what 's happening , and no mystery , but it 's powerful regardless , inspiring fear and pity for both characters , and ending the hour on a high note .

Twenty - four days after being swept by the eventual league champion , the Lakers signed Phil Jackson as head coach . Jackson , famous for coaching Michael Jordan and the six - time champion Chicago Bulls , would build his triangle offense around Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant . General Manager Jerry West surrounded O'Neal and Bryant with effective role players such as Glen Rice , Ron Harper ( who had experience with Jackson 's triangle offense as part of the ' 96 -- ' 98 Bulls ) , and A.C. Green ( member of the last two Lakers championship teams ) . Along with these starters , the Lakers also possessed a strong bench . Robert Horry not only had championship experience with the Houston Rockets but also was a threat on the perimeter and a defensive star . Derek Fisher was a defensively minded point - guard with the ability to shoot well from long range . Rick Fox , acquired after being released by the Boston Celtics , was the Lakers ' sixth man . With a healthy O'Neal , the Lakers dominated the regular season , with winning streaks of 11 , 16 , and 19 en route to a 67 -- 15 record , tying the 1992 Chicago Bulls and 1986 Boston Celtics as the fifth best record in NBA regular season history . Although many expected the Lakers to reach the Finals , the road would be a rocky one . In the first round , the Lakers won the first two games against the Sacramento Kings , only to drop the next two games in Sacramento . The Lakers then defeated Sacramento in Game 5 , 113 -- 86 , to face the Phoenix Suns in the conference semifinals . The Lakers clobbered the Suns , winning the series 4 -- 1 ( with their only loss coming in Game 4 ) . In Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Portland Trail Blazers , Rasheed Wallace earned two technical fouls and was ejected ; the Lakers took advantage of Wallace 's absence and secured victory . The Trail Blazers stormed back in the next game , giving the Lakers their worst home loss of the season in a 106 -- 77 shellacking . This setback did not affect Los Angeles , as they assembled a 3 -- 1 series lead by winning the next two games in Portland . The Lakers underestimated the Trail Blazers , however . Led by former Jackson linchpin Scottie Pippen , Portland won back - to - back elimination games and forced a series - deciding Game 7 . Amid several controversial foul calls by referee Dick Bavetta against members of the Trail Blazers , Portland relinquished a 75 -- 60 fourth quarter lead . Rallying back with a 25 -- 4 run , the Lakers won the game and secured a berth in the NBA Finals . Indiana Pacers ( edit ) In the 1997 -- 1998 NBA season , the Chicago Bulls narrowly defeated the Pacers , 4 games to 3 , in the Eastern Conference Finals . The 1998 -- 1999 NBA season began with a lockout but saw Indiana return to the Eastern Conference Finals , where they fell to the New York Knicks . The 1999 -- 2000 NBA season brought several major changes to the Pacers . It was their first season at Conseco Fieldhouse , as well as their first since 1993 without center Antonio Davis , who was traded for the rights to the No. 5 overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft . Jalen Rose replaced Chris Mullin in the starting line up , winning the NBA Most Improved Player award , while Austin Croshere replaced him as the sixth man . The Pacers started the season 7 -- 7 but eventually finished with an Eastern Conference best 56 -- 26 record , including a franchise - best 25 game win streak at home . The Pacers , like the Lakers , struggled in the playoffs . They needed a clutch Travis Best three - pointer to dispatch the Milwaukee Bucks in five games . Indiana faced the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round and took the series in six games , earning a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals . The Pacers would face their rival Knicks , winning a memorable six game series in a reversal of fortunes from years past . With the victory , Indiana advanced to the first NBA Finals in franchise history , becoming the second former ABA team to do so .

The NBA , after experimenting in the early years , restored this original format for the Finals in 1985 . So far , the other playoff series are still running on a 2 -- 2 -- 1 -- 1 -- 1 site format . This was the second time a Finals game was played on a Monday night since the NBA switched to the Wednesday - Friday - Sunday rotation in 1991 . In the previous five series ( ' 92 -- ' 94 , ' 96 , ' 98 ) that needed a Game 6 , the game was played on a Sunday . In this series , however , the NBA chose to play the game the Monday night after Father 's Day . The previous Finals game played on a Monday night was Game 3 in 1999 .

The Lakers shot 15 - for - 20 ( 75 % ) in the first period while the Pacers shot only 7 - for - 20 ( 35 % ) . Reggie Miller would miss all of his shots in the first quarter to give the Lakers a 15 - point lead . Austin Croshere came off the bench to keep the Pacers alive in the 2nd quarter , scoring 9 points and grabbing 4 rebounds in the quarter . Although the Pacers attempted a comeback in the 2nd quarter , they were still down by 12 . In the 3rd quarter , it would be Mark Jackson who led the Pacers to a comeback , cutting the Lakers lead by 2 . Reggie Miller also hit his first field goal in the 3rd quarter , though it would be his last . The Lakers handled the Pacers in the final quarter , with a 13 -- 2 run winning by 17 points . Shaquille O'Neal scored 43 points and grabbed 19 rebounds .

Rush Los Angeles and Indiana were evenly matched for the first quarter , both scoring 28 . However , Los Angeles suffered a major setback when Kobe Bryant left the game in the 2nd quarter due to a sprained ankle and did not return . Jalen Rose later admitted that he intentionally stuck out his foot when Kobe shot a jumpshot in order to trip him when he landed . Ron Harper went in for Bryant and scored 21 points for the game . Desperate to try to gain the lead , Larry Bird resorted to the `` Hack - a-Shaq '' strategy . Shaq shot 39 free throws , making only 18 , an NBA record for most free throws attempted . Despite this low percentage , Shaq made 9 of 16 in the 4th quarter to keep a Lakers lead . The Pacers cut the lead to 99 -- 96 and were looking to foul Shaq , but when Shaq got the ball he passed to Robert Horry who converted not only the layup , but the foul shot as well giving them a 102 -- 96 lead en route to a 111 -- 104 Lakers victory . Game 3 ( edit ) NBC June 11 Recap at the Wayback Machine ( archived February 4 , 2001 ) Los Angeles Lakers 91 , Indiana Pacers 100 Scoring by quarter : 15 -- 23 , 27 -- 30 , 24 -- 26 , 25 -- 21 Pts : Shaquille O'Neal 33 Rebs : Shaquille O'Neal 13 Asts : Derek Fisher 10 Pts : Reggie Miller 33 Rebs : Dale Davis 12 Asts : Mark Jackson 6 Los Angeles leads the series , 2 -- 1 Conseco Fieldhouse , Indianapolis Attendance : 18,345 Referees : No. 10 Ron Garretson No. 7 Bernie Fryer No. 25 Hugh Evans Taking advantage of Kobe Bryant 's ankle injury , Indiana restored a semblance of parity to the proceedings . Kobe 's absence was felt as the Pacers had an 11 -- 2 run in the first quarter to take an 8 - point lead . Austin Croshere once again had another huge 2nd quarter , scoring 8 points as the Pacers shot 61 % from the field . The Lakers tried to make a run to get back into the game , but upon doings so , Indiana answered with 12 straight points and led by 17 . The Lakers were desperate and attempted another run to get within 3 points , but Reggie Miller nailed all his free throws at the end of the game to give Indiana a 9 - point win . Game 4 ( edit ) NBC June 14 Recap at the Wayback Machine ( archived February 4 , 2001 ) Los Angeles Lakers 120 , Indiana Pacers 118 ( OT ) Scoring by quarter : 23 -- 33 , 28 -- 21 , 29 -- 23 , 24 -- 27 , Overtime : 16 -- 14 Pts : Shaquille O'Neal 36 Rebs : Shaquille O'Neal 21 Asts : Kobe Bryant 5 Pts : Reggie Miller 35 Rebs : Dale Davis 8 Asts : Mark Jackson 8 Los Angeles leads the series , 3 -- 1 Conseco Fieldhouse , Indianapolis Attendance : 18,345 Referees : No. 27 Dick Bavetta No. 29 Steve Javie No. 34 Ronnie Nunn The Pacers took a quick 9 -- 2 lead due to Rik Smits hitting his first four shots . Kobe Bryant attempted to play with his sore ankle but only managed to score 6 points in the first half . Even though Bryant and O'Neal were in foul trouble in the first half ( each picking up his third with 5 minutes remaining in the second quarter ) , Indiana could not take advantage and did not extend their lead . This would be a problem as Kobe Bryant scored 10 points and the Lakers took a 62 -- 60 lead due to a Glen Rice three - pointer . The game remained close going into the fourth quarter , when O'Neal and Reggie Miller scored 14 and 13 points respectively , sending the game into overtime . Midway through overtime , O'Neal committed his sixth foul but 21 - year - old Bryant delivered three clutch shots , as the Lakers were able to overcome back - up center John Salley 's inability to effectively defend Smits . Smits and Miller scored all 14 of Indiana 's OT points , but it was not enough to overcome as Miller missed a last - second three - pointer , and L.A. was able to pull one out in Indianapolis .

Reggie Miller came out and made 5 straight shots including a 4 - point play . The Pacers hit their first 6 three point shots in the game . The Pacers would have a 20 - point lead in the 2nd quarter , and eventually won by 33 -- it was the worst Lakers NBA Finals loss since the 148 -- 114 loss to Boston in the 1985 NBA Finals , known as the `` Memorial Day Massacre . '' With their loss in Game 5 , the Lakers record in close - out games dropped to 3 -- 6 in the 2000 NBA Playoffs ( the other losses coming in Games 3 and 4 in the first round against Sacramento , Game 4 in the series against Phoenix , and Games 5 and 6 versus Portland ) . As a result , the series returned to California .

They would not relinquish their lead until the fourth quarter . In the first half , the Pacers would lead by as many as twelve points . However , the Lakers chipped away and entered intermission trailing 56 -- 53 . Indiana added two more points to their lead , and entered the final period in a position to force a decisive seventh game . In the fourth quarter , the momentum shifted . The Lakers got four timely three - pointers from Derek Fisher , Robert Horry , and Rick Fox . The turning point occurred on a play where Brian Shaw stole the ball from Jalen Rose , leading to a fast break where Shaquille O'Neal hit an off - balance shot to give the Lakers the lead . The Pacers never led after that point . The Lakers would build a seven - point lead , but the Pacers fought back to tie the score at 103 . After a timeout , the Lakers scored six unanswered points to regain control . The Pacers made one final valiant effort , but it fell short and the Lakers clinched their first championship in twelve years . Shaquille O'Neal led all scorers with 41 points and also pulled down 12 rebounds . He was awarded the Finals MVP .

It was also the first major professional sports championship for the city of Los Angeles since that same year , when the Dodgers won the 1988 World Series . This championship came in the Lakers ' first year in their new arena , Staples Center . The Lakers went on to score a ' three - peat ' when they won the NBA championship in 2001 and 2002 , making them the first team to open a new arena with three straight NBA championships . However , the Lakers were unable to score home - court advantage throughout the playoffs in the latter two , yielding them to the San Antonio Spurs and Sacramento Kings , respectively . In addition , the Lakers were able to beat both of them in the Conference Finals . They won the championship over the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets , respectively . The series would be the Pacers ' only finals appearance to date . The Pacers would rebuild in the subsequent season . Retiring center Rik Smits was replaced by future NBA All - Star Jermaine O'Neal , acquired from Portland in the deal for Dale Davis . Mark Jackson and Chris Mullin both left as free - agents . Larry Bird resigned as head coach ; he would later resurface as President of Basketball Operations in 2003 . The Pacers continued to make the playoffs every season until 2006 , the year after Reggie Miller retired .
