The Lakers drew the first blood in the first game of the Western Conference finals with a 89-85 win over the San Antonio Spurs.
But this was not so easy, Kobe Bryant shot his 25 out of 27 points after the first half to cut their 20 point deficit. And the Lakers became on fire until the very end causing the Spurs to gain turnovers and miss their shots from beyond the arc.
Tim Duncan lead the Spurs with 30 points and18 rebounds. The Spurs are now down in the best of seven series of the Western Conference Finals.
Game 2 will still be at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
