The Los Angeles Lakers are 2009 NBA Finals Champs. The Lakers defeated the Orlando Magic 4-1 to capture their 15th title. The Magic, who steamrolled Cleveland in the Eastern Conference Finals, just didn’t put up a fight at all in the Finals. The first few games were decided by a handful of points, but last night’s game 5 was embarrassing for the Magic.

The Lakers rolled the Magic 99-86 in Orlando and Kobe Bryant brought home the Finals MVP.

The Los Angeles Lakers did their part and won the first two games in their arena. I don’t have the stats in front of me, but coming back from down 0-2 in the NBA Finals hasn’t probably been done too often. That’s the challenge that faces the Orlando Magic as the series moves to Florida for the next 3 games.

Last night, Courtney Lee of the Orlando Magic had a chance to win the game with .6 seconds left on the clock. Lee missed an ally-oop layup as time expired, forcing the game into overtime. The Lakers took advantage of the 5:00 minute extra quarter and outscored Orlando 13-8 to win the game.

The Lakers had great games from Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom (who had 19 points and 8 rebounds coming off the bench). For the Magic, Rashard Lewis put on a show scoring 34 points, crashing 11 boards and dishing 7 assists. Jameer Nelson did play last night, though not as much as he did in game 1. He contributed only 4 points.

The Orlando Magic, down 0-2, are not technically in a ‘must win’ situation in this best of 4 series… but they are in a ‘dire need to win’ situation. If the Magic don’t win Game 3, then it’s all but over.

The 2009 NBA Finals are set. The Los Angeles Lakers won the Western Conference while the Orlando Magic won the Eastern Conference, stunning the Cleveland Cavaliers along the way. The fist game of the Finals tips off on Thursday in Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant is looking for his first title without Shaq, something he failed to win last year against the Celtics.
