THURSDAY'S BEST Kobe Bryant, Lakers guard: Saving his best for last, the league MVP poured in 17 of his game-high 39 points (16-for-30 from the field) in the fourth quarter to put the finishing touches on a series-clinching rally by L.A.
THURSDAY'S WORSTSan Antonio Spurs: Sure Tony Parker scored 23 and Tim Duncan had a triple-double, but how do you explain the defending champions losing a 17-point advantage in a win-or-go home game? Also, the league announced this week that it will start cracking down on flopping. Talk about kicking a team when it's down.
QUOTE OF THE NIGHT"No disrespect to Kyra Sedgwick, but that damn boy Kobe Bryant is The Closer."
-- Analyst Charles Barkley using the name of TNT's popular television drama to describe Bryant's ability to make critical plays
