| Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Kobe Bryant and the Lakers looked half- asleep at times during their most important game of the season, but in the end it was their suffocating defense that propelled them to a 83-79 Game 7 win over the Boston Celtics to capture their 16th NBA championship and second in a row. Bryant captured his fifth title despite going 6-of-24 from the field for just 23 points, as the Lakers used their length to win the rebounding battle by a sizeable 53-40 margin. He also |

LOS ANGELES (AP) -No one's blaming Ron Artest this time. The new guy who said it would be his fault if the Los Angeles Lakers didn't repeat as NBA champions is off the hook. They defeated the Boston Celtics 83-79 in Game 7 on Thursday night to win their 16th championship, helped greatly by Artest. He had 20 points on 7 of 18 shooting, five steals and five rebounds in his first season with the team. On a night when Kobe Bryant couldn't find the basket, the superstar trusted the guy with |

He's in the final year of his contract, with no word about a possible extension. ``I've resisted thinking about that and talking about it for the most part,'' he said Thursday night before the finale between the Lakers and Boston Celtics. ``It really isn't important what happens after this, it's just about this game right now.'' Seeking his 11th NBA title as a coach, Jackson said he would know after the game whether the outcome influences his future. ``I won't tell you th |

| (Sports Network) - After nearly eight months of basketball, the NBA season will boil down to a winner-take-all Game 7 between the two most successful franchises in league history as the Los Angeles Lakers host the Boston Celtics tonight. Facing elimination on Tuesday, Pau Gasol narrowly missed a triple-double with 17 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists, as the Lakers forced the deciding contest in the 2010 NBA Finals with an 89-67 blowout of the Celtics.
