Game 2: Lakers 75 at Nuggets 77
May 16 - Oklahoma City. The Lakers had the game in their pockets but the Thunder stole it from them in the final two minutes to get a 77-75 win and take a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Semis.
Andrew Bynum scored 2 of his 20 points to put the Lakers ahead by 7 with just 2:08 left in the fourth but those were L.A.'s final points of the game. Durant stole a pass from Kobe Bryant, Steve Blake committed a turnovers in the next possession, Kobe missed his next two shots -- he was 9-for-25 for 20 points--- and with the Lakers already down by 1 and needing just a two point play Metta World Peace couldn't inbound the ball to Kobe so he went with Blake who missed a 3-pointer from the right side with 5 seconds left.
Despite not winning the game, at least the Lakers were able to give a good fight and weren't erased from the floor like in game 1. The difference was basically their physicality and the good defense they played on Westbrook and Durant for most of the game. L.A. started the third quarter with a 48-45 deficit but they held Oklahoma City scoreless for the first 4 minutes and allowed just two baskets in the first 8 minutes. They didn't scored much, though, and won the period 18-12. Kobe had 4 steals, World Peace 3 and Bynum 4 blocks while Pau Gasol played aggressive and finished with 14 and 11 rebounds... more... |

Game 7: Lakers 96 vs. Nuggets 87
May 12 - Pau Gasol was Pau Gasol again and led the Lakers to a big win 96-87 in game 7 against the Nuggets.
Gasol, who once changed the Lakers fate when he was traded from the Grizzlies, had a horrible game 6 where he scored just 3 points but bounced back with an aggressiveness that showed the way for the team. He finished with 23 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks. After receiving a lot of well deserved criticism for his attitude in game 6, Andrew Bynum had 16 points and a career playoff-high 18 rebounds. He grabbed 9 offensive boards to combine to Pau's 11.
From the beginning the Lakers stayed focused, not allowing the Nuggets to run and with the return from suspension of Metta World Peace they played very physical defense. World Peace not only shut down Danilo Gallinari who had 3 points, he also provided a much needed perimeter scoring connecting 4 three-pointers. And he wasn't the only one making threes. Kobe Bryant was doubled every time he touched the ball so he became a playmaker and Steve Blake took advantage of it by making 5 three-point shots, getting 19 points and helping to spread the floor.

Lakers at Sacramento Kings / L 96-113 / Streak: lost 1
Apr 26: Kobe Bryant made it clear what his goal is. He decided to sit out and get some rest for the Playoffs during the team's meaningless final game of the season against the lowly Sacramento Kings instead of trying to go for 38 points and win his third scoring title. This way he surrendered the honor to Kevin Durant, but also gave a lesson on leadership as the Lakers get ready for the chase of their 17th NBA Championship. Mike Brown had already decided to rest Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Matt Barnes and the Lakers lost 96-113 at Sacramento.

Game 7: Lakers 83, Celtics 79
June 17 - In a classic game 7 the Lakers players gave everything they had to get an 83-79 win over Boston and give the franchise its 16th NBA Championship. This way the Lakers won their second consecutive title and took revenge from the 2008 Finals.
It was a bad shooting night for the Lakers (32.5% from the field making just 20 % of their 3-point attempts) but they compensated it with their will and their energy at both ends of the floor. They stayed in the game basically by grabbing 23 offensive rebounds and outrebounding Boston 53-40.
Kobe Bryant won his second Finals MVP after averaging 28.6 points in the series. He had 23 points in one of the worst shooting games of his playoff career, but he contributed 15 rebounds and 10 of his points came in the fourth quarter.
Taking advantage of Kobe's struggles against an excellent team defense, the Celtics build a 13-point lead but Kobe's teammates stepped up for him led by Pau Gasol's 19 points and 18 rebounds (9 offensive) and the Lakers could slowly erase the deficit. Gasol's activity under the baskets was the biggest problem for the Celtics who used Kevin Garnett, Rasheed Wallace and Glen Davis trying to contain him in the absence of injured Kendrick Perkins.
