Kobe Is One Game Away From His Sixth NBA Finals

LA beat Denver 103-94 to take a 3-2 lead. Bryant didn’t shoot much, just 13 attempts, but scored 22 points andled Los Angeles with his passing. On the night he had seven assists and five rebounds. The big story was really Lamar Odom though. After struggling in the first four games of the series Odom had 19 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 assists to spark Los Angeles. Pau Gasol only took eight shots and scored only 14 points, because it was Odom that controlled the paint for a large portion of the second half.This might’ve been Denver’s only real chance to win the Western Conference Finals. Winning tonight would’ve given them a 3-2 lead going back to Denver with a chance to close out the road weary Lakers at the Pepsi Center. Now, Carmelo Anthony and company need to reload and get ready for a must win game six on their home floor. Win that and then they can focus on game seven in Los Angeles.
