Lakers 100, Spurs 92
The Lakers overcame an awful start and rode Kobe Bryantto a100-92 victoryto eliminatedefending champion San Antonio, 4-1,in the Western Conference finals on Thursday at raucous Staples Center. The Lakers will play either Boston or Detroit in the NBA Finals on Thursday, four years after their last Finals appearance - a five-game loss to the Pistons. I like not to get involved personally in this and think of this as a team effort, Coach Phil Jackson said.
