Los Angeles Lakers played the NBA Finals

100-92. Mission accomplished. LA Lakers played the NBA Finals against the winner of the tie Boston - Detroit.

And that the party did not start anything right for the Lakers, as the Spurs midway through the second quarter, earning 17 points. She joined the hunger with appetite. LA Lakers could not manage much and San Antonio Spurs were playing at a high level on offense. They had to be the reserves of the Lakers (Farmar, Vujacic, Radmanovic, Turiaf and Walton) who come out to the Lakers in scoring, leaving only a 6 point difference at halftime.

And then came the usual one: Kobe Bryant. Angeleno guard is currently the best player in the league (as evidenced by their MVP) and if you win a game scoring fine impossible shots. Last night, scored 39 points, 17 in the fourth quarter, which ended up forging a victory for the Lakers.

"My heart is still nervous," said Odom at the end of the game. "Adrenaline runs through me yet." Lamar Odom scored 13 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. But the party had more names. As our Pau Gasol. The Spanish scored 12 points and grabbed 19 rebounds. Given that in attack was very hard (almost impossible) to get around Tim Duncan, focused on defense and game sharing. The result beat his career-high rebounds in the playoffs.

Manu Ginobili, the Spurs thermometer in these playoffs, he disappeared again. 9 points for the Argentine who has disappointed in these playoffs. Tim Duncan scored 19 points and 15 rebounds and Tony Parker scored 23.

With 3-1 in the tie against the Spurs have never managed to make up the series. That makes seven times that same thing happens. The last team to do so was Phoenix Suns two years ago, precisely against the Lakers.

Phil Jackson, Lakers coach, has already won 9 titles in Conference, tying the legendary Red Aucherbach in front of the historical classification of the NBA.

The Lakers now await their opponent for the final match of the NBA. There will be no advantage, a value far safer for them as they have won all matches played at the Staples Center (take 2 months without loss there). But not to worry, all series have won a game away.
