Kobe Bryant is the top of tower, Pau Gasol is foundation

Los Angeles Lakers failed to stop the declining trend in the road, they are a 2-point loss to the Denver Nuggets. However, Bryant - Bryant's absence, Paul - Gasol double-double with stable performance demonstrated that he is to ensure that the cornerstone of the team record, while Bryant is the Lakers decide how to achieve a high spire.

Lack of Bryant's Lakers are not vulnerable in Denver because they have Gasol hold the line. Spaniards inside to bring stability to the team's contribution, in 43 minutes and 31 seconds of playing time in his 26 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocked shots, he played very well be a core team some role. In the absence of the Kobe Bryant case, the Lakers offensive tactical execution becomes more clear when they would first select and instigating the ball to Gasol, who the insider to choose how to attack axis.

Section III is the Lakers the whole game a big bright spot inside Gasol dominated the battle for the upper hand, he also put the team in court closely linked to the internal and external lines, allowing the Lakers comeback single shot climax reversal of backwardness. Today's game is not the first time this season the Lakers Kobe Bryant case in the absence of a decent performance in February when Kobe Bryant missed because of ankle injury, Pau Gasol led the team making good on record, they also showed strong competitiveness.

Bryant's presence determines how the Lakers how to achieve a high degree, he will directly affect whether the Lakers reach the championship level. As a Union, the key to the best President, with six winning shots this season, Kobe Bryant proved his value performance, when the game entered the winning moment, he is confident the team scoring the most points.

Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol are a complementary combination of the impact of both of them are the Lakers the title protection, are indispensable.

Redick and Mickael Pietrus added 16 points apiece to pull Orlando within a half-game of the idle Los Angeles Lakers for home-court advantage in case of a possible NBA finals rematch, the only thing really left at stake for the Magic. They've already clinched a third straight Southeast Division title and are locked into the Eastern Conference's No. 2 playoff seed.

Nick Young had 21 points, and Mike Miller scored 16 for the Wizards, who missed another chance for their first three-game winning streak in two years. Washington finished 1-3 against Orlando this season.

After James Singleton made a jumper over Pietrus in the second quarter, Van Gundy threw his clipboard in disgust, stomped his foot and called timeout. He railed his players on the bench before picking up the clipboard and drawing up a play.

The Magic responded with a 16-2 run capped by 3-pointers by Ryan Anderson and Pietrus to go ahead 46-33. The Wizards would come back quickly, trimming the lead to six at the half. That wouldn't last.

The Magic went on a 16-4 spurt and ended the third quarter in dramatic fashion: Jason Williams made a 3-pointer with 2 seconds left. Then Matt Barnes stole a pass from Fabricio Oberto and batted the ball out to Williams, who converted a 26-footer at the buzzer to give the Magic a 19-point lead and throw the crowd into a frenzy.

A day after Cleveland coach Mike Brown said he intends to rest his players and is approaching the final regular-season games ''as a high-level practice,'' the Magic are choosing to go full speed into the postseason. Orlando has won 16 of its last 19 games.

Van Gundy has said he won't sit players unless they're injured because the Magic, who use a deep bench, don't have anybody in the top 40 in minutes played. They also have a chance to catch the Lakers in the chance they meet in the finals.

Orlando and Los Angeles split the season series. The Magic will have to finish ahead of the Lakers in the standings because Los Angeles owns the tiebreaker with a better record against the East than Orlando has versus the West.
