Lakers advance to the second round in NBA finals
The Los Angeles Lakers are the top seed in the Western Conference of the NBA finals. So far they have played like a top seed.
The Lakers have now advanced to the second round of the NBA finals thanks to a hard fought victory in Denver. With just 33 seconds left on the clock Denver were only down by 2 points following a 3 point bucket by Camby off an Iverson assist. If they could have got a defensive stop on the next play they could have stolen the match. As it was on the next play Gasol slammed home a dunk to give the Lakers a four point cushion.
A turnover by Hilario proved costly as Kobe Bryant sank two free throws to effectively seal the game and help the Lakers advance. Bryant topped the scoring for the Lakers with 31 points.
