Melo Leads Nuggets past Lakers
May 22nd, 2009 by ChaI-WalaCarmelo Anthony Has played like a Man amongst boys so far this series, and this time, the Nuggets made sure they finished off the game well down the stretch. A complete flipside from game 1, it was the nuggets hitting clutch free throws and making smart plays, while it was the Lakers missing free throws and turning over the ball in the final minutes of another tightly contested game. Carmelo Anthony once again proved to be force in the game dominating on both ends of the ball, dominating on Offence and Guarding Kobe Bryant for a good portion of the game. He poured in 34 pts and 9 “Man” Rebounds. Chauncey Billups added 27 pts of his own and Linas Klieza was huge off the bench adding 16 clutch buckets that helped Denver get back into the game when they were down double digits in the first half. Kobe Bryant had 32 pts and Pau Gasol had another big game with 17pts and 17 rebs in the loosing cause. Game 3 will be played in Denver..Look forward to an exciting series.
Lakers 103 Nuggets 106
