The Lakers displayed a terrific form yesterday and won game two against the Nuggets. The final score was 122 – 107 and the series is now 2 – 0 for Los Angeles.

Kobe Bryant finished with 49 points and 10 assists, just one point away from his career playoff high. "I didn't realize it, I didn't even know it. We were just getting into a rhythm, getting into a groove. It feels like when you get hot, the ball just finds you," Kobe said according to the Associated Press.

Pau Gasol had 18 points and 10 rebounds, Luke Walton had 18 points. Odom had only 4 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists but that didn’t stop the Lakers from dominating start to finish.
