Lakers Sweep Series

The Denver Nuggets finally gave the Los Angeles Lakers a good fight. The Lakers dispatched the fighting Nuggets anyway. Kobe Bryant scored 31 points Monday night, leading the Lakers to a 107-101 victory and a sweep of their first-round series.
"He is unbelievable," Luke Walton said of Bryant, his teammates and one of the MVP favorites. "It's always so comforting knowing you have the best closer in basketball. They were making huge plays down the stretch, but Kobe came right back to do whatever it took: huge plays, steals or an incredible shots like that fadeaway over Kenyon Martin from the top of the key. The Lakers will meet the winner of the Utah-Houston series, which the Jazz lead 3-1, in the Western Conference semifinals.
This seems like the clincher for Kobe to win his first NBA MVP. He has been known as the best player in the NBA for years now and he desrves it. I plan to write a blog on the winner when the results are final.
