ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The Los Angeles Lakers have won their 15th
championship, beating the Orlando Magic 99-86 in Game 5 of the NBA
finals.
Kobe Bryant scored 30 points Sunday night in winning his fourth
title, the first without Shaquille O'Neal. It was the 10th
championship for coach Phil Jackson, moving him past Boston's Red
Auerbach for the most all-time.
The Lakers took control with a 16-0 run in the second quarter
and rolled to their first title since 2002. Pau Gasol added 14
points and 15 rebounds for the Lakers.
Rashard Lewis scored 18 points for the Magic, who were in the
finals for only the second time.
