LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles Lakers have taken a 2-0 in
the NBA finals, beating the Orlando Magic 101-96 in overtime Sunday
night.
Kobe Bryant scored 29 points, and Pau Gasol had a big overtime
and finished with 24 points and 10 rebounds as the Lakers moved
within two wins of their 15th championship.
Rashard Lewis had 34 points and 11 rebounds, and Hedo Turkoglu
had 22 points. But rookie Courtney Lee missed a layup at the buzzer
that would have won it in regulation for the Magic, who have still
never won a finals game.
Game 3 is Tuesday in Orlando.
