Behind the playoff tenacity of Kobe Bryant the Lakers win game 1 against Utah 100-95. Bryant pours in 31 points after hitting two crucial free throws down the stretch with 19 seconds to go. After the Jazz decided to foul after running off a boat load of time then Pau Gasol steps up to the line and hits the last two to seal the deal. Defense that has not be present for the Lakers in the past month was finally present as they stifled the Jazz all afternoon.
Gasol finishes with a solid 25 pts. & 12 rbs..
Deron Williams continues his All-Star play by pacing the Jazz with 24pts and Duke product Carlos Boozer chips in 18pts. & 12rbs.. This series will be a pleasure to watch. I will post my semi-final predictions soon for the West and East playoffs.
