Western Conference Finals next:Lakers finally close out tough Rockets

Lakers center Andrew Bynum steals the ball from Rockets point guard Aaron Brooks, who was driving through the lane, in the first half today.

In a series that should never have gone to 7 games, the Lakers won when it counted this afternoon. Still unanswered; which Laker team will show up against the Denver Nuggets Tuesday night (6:00 p.m. California time) during the Western Conference Finals? Why did a seriously undermanned Houston team match up so well for so long? What Laker weaknesses were exposed? I've never seen a more erratic (okay chaotic) team than this seasons version of the Lakers. If you're into betting, leave the Lakers alone! They'll break your heart and wallet!

A nostalgic look back at an exciting Western Conference Finals era, especially with the Lakers building momentum toward another championship run. It really captures the energy and rivalry of that 2009 playoff matchup. Fun to revisit classic NBA moments like this!
