The NBA Finals: Lakers lead 2-0

Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol teamed up for a 101-96 overtime victory over the Orlando Magic in Game 2. Bryant had 29 points and 8 assists, while the big Spaniard Gasol had 24 points, 7 of which came in overtime.

The Magic had a chance to win it with 0.6 seconds left, but rookie Courtney Lee missed a nearly open layup to send the game to overtime.
