The Lakers carried Los Angeles back to the top of the basketball world Sunday night, the ease of the championship-clinching victory belying the difficulty of the seven-year round trip.
Pulling away to beat the Orlando Magic 99-86 in Florida, the Lakers took the NBA Finals by 4 games to 1, capping off the 10th championship for L.A. and a milestone achievement for series Most Valuable Player Kobe Bryant and coach Phil Jackson. It's the 15th NBA title in franchise history.
Players and coaches began to celebrate with grins and hugs during a timeout with 40.4seconds on the clock and let loose at the buzzer. From The Daily Breeze
(I know we have Laker fans in the family. There's an unhappy Celtics fan in my house :-)
