The World Champion Lakers have done it again, able to overcome Brian Scalabrine’s fierce one minute of playing time to claim the title for Los Angeles for the second year in a row! Finals MVP Kobe Bryant led the scoring (23 pts, 15 reb) with major help from Artest (20 pts, 5 reb) and Gasol (19 pts, 18 reb). The Lakers came from behind in a fourth quarter rally after trailing by 14 near the end of the second half.
