The money-time for Denver
The scenario for this Game 2 was almost identical to the first, but by reversing the protagonists. This time, it was the Lakers who started the stronger (31-23). Bryant recorded 14 of his 32 points in the first quarter, while Denver lived by Kenyon Martin (16 points). LA took up to 14 steps ahead (41-27) but in two minutes just before the break, Billups (27 points) and especially Kleiza (16 points, 4 / 7 three-point), which had been very little used during Game 1, deleting this handicap (55-54). Californians still continued to race ahead to a new award-winning Kleiza shot at the entrance of the final period (82-85). Denver led for the first time of the match and pushed the Lakers to 7 lengths (84-91) thanks to Carmelo Anthony (34 points, 9 rebounds). Bryant took the lead and handed the counters equal to 45 seconds of the siren (101-101). Martin then managed a lay-up in traffic and Ariza (20 points, a record in play-offs) lost the ball.
LA bound to win out
Fisher's fault propelling Billups on the line (101-105), Gasol (17 points, 17 rebounds) returned his shots (103-105) and Billups would put one in two with four seconds to play (103 -- 106). Fisher, much less success than in the first match (3 points, 1 / 9), then the ball of the extension but lacked the three-point shooting. "We showed we were mentally strong after losing Game 1, had Anthony, the first Denver player since 1976 to score over 30 points in five consecutive games in play-offs. "We changed our philosophy on Kobe in the last quarter-time. It has not jumped on him but we wanted was the opportunity for three-point shooter, "explained in more technical George Karl. Passing shots in the last quarter of an hour was also a key to the meeting (17/18 in Denver, 9 / 14 for Los Angeles). One that allowed Denver to end 11 defeats in a row facing the Lakers in Play-offs (first win since 1984). And that promises a big fight to get in the finals, starting Saturday at the Pepsi Center.
