BEIJING, May 30 (Xinhuanet) -- Kobe Bryant showed why he's so valuable, scoring 17 or his 39 points in the fourth quarter as the Los Angeles Lakers came back from a 17-point deficit to defeat the defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs 100-92. After knocking off the Spurs in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers get a week off to rest up before opening the NBA finals next Thursday night at Boston or Detroit. The Celtics lead the Eastern Conference finals 3-2 with Game 6 on Friday night in Detroit.
"I think it is a tremendous accomplishment," Bryant said. "I think the West is extremely tough. We're all extremely excited and proud about it. Now, it's time to go on and see if we can't finish it off."
"My heart’s still pumping, that adrenaline is still running from the game," said Lamar Odom, who had 13 points and eight rebounds. "Maybe when I sit down and have something to eat, I'll realize what just happened."
Pau Gasol had 12 points, a career playoff-high 19 rebounds, five assists and four blocked shots and backup guards Sasha Vujacic and Jordan Farmar added nine and eight points, respectively.
