First of many signature closeout game performances from Kobe in that 2008-2010 run. Denver was desperate to avoid getting swept on their home floor and threw their best punch of the series. Kobe saved his best for last in this one, scoring 14 points in the final five and a half minutes of the game to slam the door shut on the Nuggets and their season. He finished with 31 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, doing a little bit of everything to lead the Lakers to their first playoff series win in 4 years.
