Nuggets 103, Lakers 105 (Lakers Lead 1-0)
As I said before, if L.A. and Denver both play their best games - or match each other (which they did last night) - L.A. will win. Denver seemed to be in the driver's seat, but down the stretch, the Lakers had their championship swagger on full display. What that really means is that Kobe was just not going. After the game, Bryant said, "Once I sensed we didn't have the energy, I had to take it upon myself to lead by example". And that's exactly what he did. Entering the 4th quarter Melo had outplayed him, scoring 30 to Kobe's 22. However, by the end of the game, Kobe had 40 to Melo's 39 (he only took 5 shots in the quarter). You do the math.
On another note, Kobe picked up his 5th tech. If he gets two more, he'll be suspended. After the game, he said, "I won't get another one". I believe him.
A couple GREATS were in attendance...
