Lakers vs. Magic
Game 5

June 14 - The Lakers returned to the top of the NBA world with a 99-86 victory over the Orlando Magic on game 5 of the 2009 NBA Finals.

It's the 15th championship for the Lakers franchise, the fourth for Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher. It is also the fourth for Phil Jackson as Laker coach and his 10th overall to break a tie with legendary Red Auerbach as the winningest coach in NBA history.

Kobe Bryant, who ended the game with 30 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks, got a well deserved Finals MVP and finally got rid of the shadow of Shaquille O'Neal. This time, instead of sharing the team with big figure like Shaq, Kobe was surrounded by many talented and determined players, starting with Pau Pau Gasol and continuing with Lamar Odom, Trevor Ariza and Derek Fisher. And game 5 was the perfect end for a great season, with the Lakers being the excellent defensive team they can be when they are in the mood, moving the ball to involve everybody and giving all they had for 48 minutes, decided to return to L.A. with the NBA trophy... / more...
