Kobe Bryant pushed it to the limit last night as usual!!! The Los Angeles Lakers won the last game of the series between the Utah Jazz (4-2) by 3 (108-105). Kobe Bryant was injured a few games back but could that stop him from getting closer to his ring WITHOUT Shaq…NOT PERIOD! K.B. scored 34 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Pau Gasol totaled 17 points and 13 rebounds. Lamar Odom had 13 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. Kobe stated at the final game’s end:

“It’s a big step for us,” Kobe said. “It shows a lot of character on our part to come in here and come out of here with a victory. It’s been a great journey and we want to keep it rolling, it’s a great accomplishment to get to the conference finals, but we believe we can accomplish much more.”

The Lakers will play the team who wins the series of New Orleans Hornets Vs. San Antonio Spurs. I hope the Hornets’ win. I can’t wait to see Kobe and Chris on the same court!

Kobe Bryant scored 26 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds to lead the series (3-2). Kobe responded on the win last night and he said:

“I just had to pick my spots,” he said. “I knew I wasn’t 100 percent healthy, so I wanted to get us off to a good start, give us an emotional boost. Then in the third quarter, there were moments where I had to pick it up, and I was able to do that. And in the fourth quarter, Lamar [Odom] and Pau [Gasol] took it from there.”

Pau Gasol was on point last night scoring a total of 21 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds. Lamar Odom put 22 points and 11 rebounds. The Jazz can kiss these last few game goodbye because the Lakers are not going to lose these series!

“You’ve got to be able to knock those free throws down. They’re open looks,” said Bryant, “It’s my responsibility to knock them down.”

L.A. Lakers’ coach Phil Jackson was happy about the 1st win at home. Jackson responded at the ending fourth quarter:

“It’s an incredible night to have 23 foul shots,” Phil Jackson said, “I know that Utah’s not going to be happy about it. We’ll probably see about half that in the next game, if not less. So for him to do that, it was our biggest scoring threat of the night right there.”
