LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kenyon Martin hit a layup in traffic with 29
seconds left and Chauncey Billups made 3 of 4 free throws to give
the Denver Nuggets a 106-103 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on
Thursday night to even the Western Conference finals.

The win in Game 2 ended the Lakers' 24-year playoff dominance of
the Nuggets.

It was Denver's first-ever playoff victory against Los Angeles,
which owned an 11-0 record dating to 1985, the second-longest
postseason winning streak against one team in NBA history.

Carmelo Anthony had 34 points and 14 rebounds, Billups had 27
points and 16 rebounds and Linas Kleiza added 16 points for the
Nuggets.

Kobe Bryant had 32 points, Trevor Ariza scored a career
playoff-high 20 and Pau Gasol 17 points and 17 rebounds for the
Lakers.
