Summary:
Not only did Kobe drop 31 points in Game 1 of the Lakers vs. Nuggets series, but Bynum put up historical numbers. Bynum finished the game with 11 points, 10 rebounds, and an incredible 10 blocks. Bynum is now tied with Kareem for holding an NBA playoff record for most blocks in a game. The Lakers are now up in the series 1-0 and look healthy as ever.
Significance:
The Lakers are playing their best basketball as they enter the postseason, a good sign that the Lakers will return to the Finals again. Kobe sat out the final two weeks of the season to get his bench players ready for the playoffs and each bench player played a key role in the Lakers victory of game 1. If Kobe can score over 25 points each game, Bynum can dominate, and bench players support, the Lakers will win the Finals.
