MVP Bryant scores 34 as Lakers go up 2-0 (AP)

Carlos Boozer and the Utah Jazz hope to spoil Kobe Bryant's MVP celebration. More important, the Jazz hope to even the Western Conference semifinals with the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night before the series moves to Salt Lake City for Games 3 and 4. "If we can go out there and ruin their party a little bit by getting a victory, that helps us a lot," Boozer said. [link]
