Bryant scored 34 points, 12 in the fourth quarter, and Los Angeles held off a furious rally by the Utah Jazz for a 108-105 victory Friday night in Game 6, putting the Lakers in the Western Conference finals for the first time in four years.

One of the only two road wins (Pistons beat Magic at Orlando) in the entireĀ 2nd round of the playoffs.

The Lakers improved to 36-1 when winning first two games of best-of-seven series. … Utah was 37-4 at home this season and 4-2 in the playoffs. … Boozer fouled out with 4:34 left in the game. … Fisher, who played in Utah last season, and Williams hugged after the final horn.

Up next, the Lakers will host either Spurs or the Hornets.

Can’t decide who I would rather play…

Spurs: LA has had some battles with the Spurs over the years. It would be a great series watching all the match ups, Bruce gaurding Kobe, Fish on Tony…Pau and Tim. Also Big Shot Bob against his old team.

Hornets: The MVP and the runner up facing eachother…

I think the Spurs series would be a better series to watch, but for the sake of us advancing to the finals (not that i don’t think LA could beat SA), i would rather play Hornets. Hornets have also never been to the Conf Finals.
