The Spurs delusion of a dynasty creation just fell down atop the Staples Center’s rafters and the Lakeshow was the more superior squad in the West Finals series.  They have subjugated San Antonio this series at 4-1 and LA will be facing the victor of the Eastern Finals series. 

Kobe Bryant scored 17 of his 39 points in the fourth quarter; Kobe showed why he is the reigning MVP, t'was a class act he did by pushing his team mates to be more aggressive as they wipe out a 17 points SA lead going to the second half.  In the second half he went to business as usual thus inspiring the younger Lakers’ players to do their piece (offensively and defensively) and which they did.  They have contributed very well giving Kobe his needed support at crunch time.

Quoting Spurs coach Gregg Popovich; he pointed to his team's offense - and the Lakers' defense - the keys to the series.  ''I thought we did a fine job,'' he said. ''We just didn't muster the offense, for a variety of reasons. The fact that we didn't come through offensively is a disappointment, but part of that is a credit to the Lakers.  ‘‘(The Spurs) just played a team that was better. That's why the Lakers won. The better team won. You get a seven-game series, you win four games, you're the best team.''

Lakers coach Phil Jackson who had won nine championships said after the game, ''I like not to get involved personally in this and think of this as a team effort.’’ Undeniably it was a team effort by throwing themselves into that game, provided the hustle wholeheartedly and raised their defensive intensity dramatically.  Pau’s support was the more glaring one since at times he was perceived a little bit too soft, but in this game he proves himself to be a biggie in this critical game getting 4 blocks & 19 huge playoffs boards, topping that category of the game.

The Lakers team have arrived and they will be here to stay!

San Antonio Spurs as those basketball experts wanted to induce us to believe, they are the more seasoned team and would not make stupid and silly moves down the stretch.  As expected Duncan routed every single coverage defense thrown at him, he’s like a machine doing every fundamental move in the book of basketball.  Parker was too quick in the lane and Ginobili was getting his slashing move at any time he wanted.  Their defensive execution was great as their offense was effective too.  Kobe was just watching them and his team continue to splutter in the first two quarters.  SA Spurs took the 1st half by a seven point margin.

At the break, the Spurs team displaying very charming smiles and were too contented with their accomplishment in the first half.  The Lakers team seems not troubled by those grins, continues the shoot around before the third. 

In the first half Kobe tried his very best to let his young Lakers team mates feel the game in the 1st two quarter and they were down 20 in the middle of the third canto, however Kobe was now fully agitated; and a different Kobe was in the game, the very aggressive one knowing fully well that his team needed him now.  He took every available shot given to him, slashed in the paint and dished to team mates inside and rattled the whole Spurs team including those in the sidelines.  He was deliberate in his moves but was intense and the Lakers team slowly inched their way to the match.  He ignited a 12-0 run eating the almost insurmountable lead of SA.  In the fourth a fold up of the Spurs was very evident and the Lakers continue the onslaught and the dominations of the board.   At this juncture you can see the real MVP stands up, does his thing and was completely dictating the tempo of the game as what was expected of him. 

The well oiled machine of the city of San Antonio just broke down in the middle of the heavy traffic in the busy  Hollywood Avenue.
