Lakers’ First Win in the Finals
Lakers had a good start by winning the first game in opening the NBA finals. With the first game closing at 100-75 score, Lakers led the NBA finals in a 1-0 lead in the best of seven series. Kobe Bryant led the game with 40 points in the game and 8 assists that made Lakers gain victory in game one.
Bryant played differently, when he was used to closing out opponents on the last quarter, at this game he wasted no time and made the 18 point lead in the third quarter making it hard for the Orlando Magic to recover giving a no sweat game for the Lakers with an 18,997 crowd watching them at the Staples Center. The team was very wiling to take advantage of the game that the Orlando Magic is playing. They have given Lakers the chance to score and lead the game to a win.
Pau Gasol helped in increasing the teams score with the 16 points that he made, Lamar Odom also gave 11 points and having 14 rebounds who are trying to make amends with their loss with the Boston Celtics. They do not want a repeat of what happened when the Celtics grabbed the title from them.
This is what is also Bryant is dedicated to do, win the NBA finals even without his former teammate, Shaquille O’Neal on the team. With this dedication to win he led the team to play the way he wanted the team to play and get the NBA title this season.
With the goods start that the Lakers have and the dedication that they will grab the NBA title, they could close the season on game four if The Orlando Magic and the Lakers would play the same way as they play with game one. This game series is something that we would be looking forward to. Until what game would the Lakers play to get this season’s NBA championship title?
