The Los Angeles Lakers completed the sweep against the Denver Nuggets behind Kobe Bryant, who took over with 5 1/2 minutes to go in Game 4. Kobe Bryant ended the series averaging 33.5 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.3 rebounds, all while shooting 50% from the field. Pau Gasol contributed with 22.3 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. The Nuggets had no answer for the Lakers, as they completed their first sweep of a team since the 2002 NBA Finals against the New Jersey Nets.
After defeating the Houston Rockets on Friday, the Utah Jazz advanced to the second round and will faced a well rested Laker team.This a series that will come down to individual matchups. Kobe/Kirilenko, D-Fish/Deron Williams, and Pau Gasol/Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur. I do believe the Lakers will win this series in six games. It will be a great series for NBA fans everywhere.
