BOOK PER HEAD

Kobe Bryant did it again. Thanks to the MVP, the L.A. Lakers became the Western Conference Champions and jumped right into the NBA Finals on Thursday with a 100-92 score.

Once more, the Defending Champions started with a great advantage, but probably got too confident about it. And if there’s something the Lakers -and especially Kobe- have proved to us during these NBA Playoffs, is that they’re great at comebacks. During the fourth quarter, the Spurs were swept out by Kobe Bryant (who scored 17 points just in that quarter). Bryant scored a total of 39 points during the game. Definitely the Lakers’ hero!

The Spurs’ defense has become weaker and that was an important factor on this last victory. Not even Tim Duncan’s triple-double was impressive enough to stop the Lakers’ effort.

Now it all comes down to the final challenge: the fight for the 2007-2008 NBA Championship title. Their opponent has not been chosen yet, but judging by the current results, we could end up enjoying a full-action match between Los Angeles and the Boston Celtics. Who would want to miss that?
