Kobe Bryant scored 22 points, Andrew
Bynum added 19 and the Los Angeles Lakers' stars got plenty of help from their
supporting cast in a 92-88 win over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night for a 3-1
lead in their first-round playoff series.The Lakers can wrap it up Tuesday night
when the series shifts back to Staples Center for Game 5.
Reserve Jordan Hill was big for L.A.,
posting a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Steve Blake scored
10 points, including a key 3-pointer in the final minute as the Lakers overcame
a six-point halftime hole and a 71-70 deficit heading into the fourth
quarter.
"This was fun," Blake said. "It doesn't
get any better than this. Playoff basketball, this is what it's all
about."
With the game tied at 86, Danilo
Gallinari was covering Bryant when a hard screen from Pau Gasol sent him to the
floor grabbing his face. Bryant worked the ball to Sessions, whose 3-pointer
from just in front of the Nuggets bench put the Lakers ahead 89-86 with 48
seconds remaining.
Andre Miller was whistled for basket
interference at the other end, and Blake sank a 3-pointer from the left corner
with 18.9 seconds left for a six-point cushion, L.A.'s biggest of the
night.Gallinari led the Nuggets with 20 points, and Miller had 15.After torching
the Lakers for 50 points combined in the previous two games, Ty Lawson was held
to 11 points and Nuggets big men Kenneth Faried and JaVale McGee weren't nearly
as effective on offense or disruptive defensively as they were in Game 2, when
they combined for 28 points and 30 rebounds.
(Ps: I'm very sorry . Some time ago I was
