The Lakers , the vastly better team, won in 5 games . The final score of each of their wins and the final tally of wins (4 to 1) display a level of dominance that I believe marginalizes how close some of the games were. Perhaps in another world (or on game consoles) fans will be able to see how ...

'Net reaction: Jazz at Lakers, Game 5
Ball Don't Lie —
... All That Jazz: "Kobe didn’t have to do it all, and his team still won. The LA crowd was also placated by tacos, we hope.
