It's Closing Time for Lakers
April 28, 2008
With a 3-0 series lead entering Game 4 tonight at Pepsi Center, the Lakers have the opportunity to close out their First Round series with Denver and advance to the Western Conference Semifinals.
Dating back to the 2006 Playoffs, the Lakers have lost three straight close-out games overall.
Under head coach Phil Jackson, the Lakers are 16-10 in close-out games. The Lakers have won 21 of their last 22 series when holding the opportunity to close-out at any point.
In the Lakers victory over the Nuggets last Wednesday, Kobe Bryant scored 49 points on 18-of-27 shooting, one point shy of tying his postseason career-high. The 49 points marked the 6th time in his career that he has scored 40+ points in a playoff game with the Lakers going 5-1 in those contests.
In the Lakers' Game One victory over Denver, both Pau Gasol (36) and Kobe Bryant (32) scored 30-plus points in the same contest for the third time this season but first time in the postseason.
Pau Gasol made a big splash in his Lakers playoff debut, scoring 36 points in the Lakers April 20 victory over Denver. Gasol’s 36 points are the second most ever by a player in his Lakers playoff debut behind Shaquille O’Neal’s 46 points 4/25/97 vs. Portland.
