The LA Lakers defeated the Utah Jazz last night, an another outstanding Western Conference game 111-104. Kobe, playing with a back that isn’t 100% after hurting it in the first quarter of Game Four, led his team with 26 points. Unlike Lebron, Kobe has teammates that can play basketball. Odom (22), Gasol (21), Radmanovic (15), and Fisher (14) all contributed for the Lakers in a well-balanced effort. Kobe didn’t even attempt a FG in the fourth quarter.
Utah played just as well, but it wasn’t enough to defeat the Lakers on their home court. Deron Williams is a complete stud. Anyone that says Chris Paul is better than this kid clearly hasn’t watched him play. I’m not saying Deron is better than Paul, I’m just saying these two point guards are amazing and I’d take either one on my team. Deron scored a game high 27 points and added 10 assists. Boozer (18), Brewer (16), Okur (13), and Kirilenko (12) all chipped in as well.

The Lakers took a three-games-to-two series lead over the Jazz with the victory and will look to close Utah out Friday evening at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City.
