NBA Finals: LA Lakers take 2-0 lead over Orlando Magic


The Los Angeles Lakers pulled out a gritty 101-96 overtime victory over the Orlando Magic to take a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals on Sunday.

Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 29 points but he and Los Angeles were nowhere near as dominant as they were in a Game One 100-75 thumping of the Magic, who could have won in regulation had Courtney Lee's lay-in attempt at the buzzer not rimmed out.

"We just drove ourselves through the game," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "I didn't think Kobe had a good game at all as far as his standards go.

"They double teamed him, they trapped him, they came on all his drives, and we didn't adjust to it."

Pau Gasol, who had 24 points and 10 rebounds, scored seven of the Lakers' 13 points in the overtime to key the victory. He hit seven-of-14 shots overall and 10-of-11 from the line.

The best-of-seven series now shifts to Orlando for the next three games, if necessary. Game Three is on Tuesday and Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy is looking for a turnaround.

"You know, series can change," he said. "You've got to take it one game at a time. It's extremely frustrating not to have gotten tonight's game because I thought we fought hard.

"I didn't think we played great because we had 20 turnovers but we fought hard. We had chances to win. We didn't get it done."

Both teams had chances to win the game in regulation, Bryant squandering an opportunity when his short jumper with 0.6 seconds remaining was blocked by Hedo Turkoglu.

After a timeout, the Magic delivered an alley-oop pass to Lee, whose potential series-tying shot at the buzzer bounced off the rim.

"I was obviously relieved when he missed that shot because it could have been a heartbreaker, and right now we could be in a totally different situation," Gasol said.

"I was surprised he was kind of wide open."

The Lakers outscored Orlando 13-8 in the extra session to remain on track for their 15th NBA title and first since 2002.

Orlando was paced by Rashard Lewis's 34 points on 12-of-21 shooting, while Turkoglu added 22. The pair hit a combined five-of-21 shots in the opener but nailed 20-of-38 on Sunday.

"I don't think we dodged a bullet," said Bryant, who had 40 points in Game One.

"They played extremely well and we played well enough to win. They bounced back like we knew they would, played extremely well, and we got out of here with a win."

All-Star center Dwight Howard had 17 points and 16 rebounds for the Magic but cost his team dearly with seven turnovers. Each time he put the ball on the floor, several Lakers were swatting at it.

"I've just got to do a better job of finding my team mates and being aware of the guards coming in the paint for strips," he said.

"As a team we've just got to do better with not turning the ball over.

"That's how they got going on the offensive end, because of our turnovers, and it gave them the game tonight."

Phil Jackson, Los Angeles Lakers' head coach, eyes 10th championship ring


Phil Jackson, the veteran Los Angeles Lakers head coach whom Fabio Capello rates as one of his greatest influences, is renowned for his philosophy of selfless teamwork and of individuals suppressing their egos for the sake of the group effort.

It is a concept that Kobe Bryant, the Lakers' guard and one of the biggest stars in American sport, had a problem signing up to back in the days when Shaquille O'Neal was still the team's leading man.

Fed up with being O'Neal's sidekick, or so he believed, the appallingly conceited and egotistical Bryant caused so many problems for Jackson that he was driven to a therapist's couch in the 2003-4 season and finally out of the door and into early retirement.


Jackson reversed his decision and returned to the Lakers for a second stint a year later, though not before he had lifted the lid on the tensions and personality clashes of that turbulent period in his best-selling book, The Last Season.

Bryant, he said, was "narcissistic", "vitriolic" and, worst of all, "uncoachable" – too arrogant to accept advice or instruction.

"He may still win a championship or two," wrote Jackson, "but the boyish hero image has been replaced by that of a callous gun for hire."

How things have changed. Last weekend Jackson used the same metaphor to describe the Kobe Bryant who now spearheads the Lakers' campaign in the NBA Finals against Orlando Magic, only this time it was meant as a compliment.

"He's a killer," said Jackson, 63, who will become the most successful NBA head coach of all time if the Lakers prevail in the best-of-seven series. That would give him an unprecedented 10th championship ring to add to the six he won with the Chicago Bulls of Michael Jordan vintage in the 1990s and the three with the Lakers from 2000 to 2003 when O'Neal was in his pomp, with Bryant in support.

"He's a gunslinger and he's a guy that's going to take the weak and have no mercy on them. That's one of the things about Kobe. He's a tough character, but he's got a real nice demeanour and he carries himself very well.

"The other thing is that I think people thought that he was a selfish ballplayer, the big aspect about him. All of us have a certain amount of ego in this game, and I'm sure no-one would doubt that.

"But he understands what the mood and the temperament of the game is a lot of the time, reads the game, knows when he has to carry the thrust of our team a lot and then knows a lot of times if he's got to pull back or sit back and let some other people do what they can do best."

The evidence came at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday when Bryant, who produced a virtuoso 40-point performance in a one-sided opening game last Thursday, took a back-seat role in game two, content to fire passes to his team-mates and encourage them to a thrilling overtime 101-96 win.

Bryant still ended the game as the Lakers' leading scorer with 29 points, but it was a display that showed just how much he has matured since the days when, to Jackson's astonishment, he squabbled with O'Neal about who should sit where for the official Lakers team photo.

"Experience has been a great teacher for him," said Jackson. "He really started to see what a leadership role is all about, that it wasn't just about going out and showing guys how you can beat another opponent but it's about supporting your team-mates, empathetically, as well."

The Lakers now take their 2-0 lead to Orlando for the next three games, starting on Tuesday, before returning to Los Angeles for the final two. If the series lasts that long.

Magic, who misread the script by dumping LeBron James's Cleveland Cavaliers out of the play-offs to reach the Finals, were outclassed 100-75 in game one and, though much improved in the second encounter, could struggle to recover from the crushing psychological blow of seeing Courtney Lee miss what would have been a match-winning shot in the final second of normal time.

It was a moment enjoyed by Jack Nicholson, a Lakers season ticketholder who leapt from his courtside seat to punch the air, as it was by a sell-out crowd that included Warren Beatty, Denzel Washington, Leonardo DiCaprio and Thierry Henry. David Beckham, Bryant's big pal, would have been there, too, had not England duty intervened.

But Bryant, the celebrities' celebrity who out-earns most of Hollywood with his $24 million-a-year salary, is not exactly sharing in the fun and excitement.

For the last few days he has been a picture of grimness – unsmiling and monosyllabic in interviews to the point of rudeness and, in a development that has exercised local media commentators, baring his teeth on court with a Hannibal Lecter-like snarl.

Jackson has detected the mood swing, too, but he is not complaining. "You have to stay driven and motivated," he said, "and I think it's really important that he [Bryant] takes that leadership role for this team."

If the Lakers win the series, Jackson, some would say the world's greatest sports coach, will enjoy the crowning moment of his career. Not just for making it a championship ring for every finger but for taming the biggest ego in the business.

Dolly Parton Talks Britney, Lindsay and Miley

Dolly Parton says it's time to leave a couple of the world's most famous starlets alone.

"Poor little Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan," Parton said at her concert last night at L.A.'s Greek Theatre. "Ain't it awful? If those little girls slept with as many men as they say in the tabloids, why their little butts would have more fingerprints than the FBI!"

All kidding aside, Parton said, "I kinda feel sorry for them. We should give those two a break."

It's too bad Spears and Lohan weren't in the audience to hear Parton's got their back. So, who was at the show?

In the house were T.R. Knight, Vince Vaughn, Katherine Heigl with singer hubby Josh Kelley and Rose McGowan.

Parton also talked about playing second fiddle to Miley Cyrus after guest-starring on Hannah Montana as "Aunt Dolly." "A lot of little kids come up to me and say, 'Aunt Dolly!' " Parton said. And I say, 'Would you little girls like an autograph?' And they say, 'Oh, yes! When you see Miley, please get us one.' "

Parton sang almost all of her hits ("Coat of Many Colors," "Islands in the Stream," "9 to 5," etc.) in the more than two-hour show. She performed a honky-tonked cover of the Fine Young Cannibals' "She Drives Me Crazy" and belted out "Backwoods Barbie," the title song of her new album that will also be featured in the new 9 to 5 stage musical.

She even got a bit political—kinda.

Some fans wore T-shirts reading, "Dolly for President."

"I don’t think so!" Parton said of her presidential aspirations. "I think there have been enough boobs in the White House."

Commenting on how times have changed, she said of this year's presidential race, "We've had a woman, we have a black man and an old stiff."

But that's as serious as she got when it came to current events.

"People are always asking me in interviews, 'What do you think of foreign affairs?' I just say, 'I've had a few.' "

And the boob jokes were aplenty. "They say, 'What do you think about global warming?' " Parton said. "I say, 'If my globes get too warm, I just take my sweater off.' "

David Letterman Marries Longtime Girlfriend


David Letterman Marries Longtime Girlfriend

Los Angeles (E! Online) – Who says you can't teach an old dog some new, not so stupid tricks?

David Letterman swapped vows with longtime love Regina Lasko Thursday afternoon in a no-frills courthouse ceremony. The newlyweds are parents of a 5-year-old son, Harry.

The 61-year-old Late Show host is planning to announce the big news on tonight's episode, where congratulations will be in order from guests Hugh Laurie and Sarah Paulson.

"On Thursday, at 3 p.m., March 19, 2009, at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau, Montana, I was married to Regina Lasko," Letterman will say, according to CBS.

"Regina and I began dating in February of 1986, and I said, 'Well, things are going pretty good, let's just see what happens in about 10 years.' I had avoided getting married pretty good for, like, 23 years, and I—honestly, whether this happened or not—I secretly felt that men who were married admired me…like I was the last of the real gunslingers, you know what I'm saying?"

Yup, that sounds about right for the guy who tended to pull the tightening-of-the-collar look whenever one of his guests asked about future plans to tie the knot.

This is the second marriage for Letterman, who spent nine years with Michelle Cook before divorcing in 1978.

Not that round two went off without a hitch—in fact, Mother Nature almost didn't let it happen.

When Letterman, Lasko and Harry set off for the courthouse Thursday, they ended up getting stuck in the mud.

"So now we think, 'Well, somebody'll come—no, nobody comes along," Letterman says. "Nobody comes along—it's Thursday afternoon, who's coming along, Zorro?"

"So I get out of the truck and I walk two miles back to the house into a 50-mile-an-hour wind. It's not Beverly Hills, it's Montana, for God's sakes. And the whole way, I'm thinking, 'See, smart ass, see, see, you try to get married, this is what happens. See, well, you've got nobody to blame but yourself. Could have happened any other day, but you wait now, see, this is what you get.'"

But what Letterman got in the end was married.

Jessica Simpson: Run Away From Abusive Men

First Oprah and Tyra. Now it's Jessica's turn.

Becoming the latest star to speak out this week in the wake of the Chris Brown-Rihanna fiasco, Jessica Simpson urged female fans at last night's concert in Phoenix to "run so far away" from abusive relationships.

"In love, we all go through a lot of things, and a lot of things unfortunately make us stay there," Simpson, 28, told the crowd. "No matter what you go through in life, no matter what abuse you go through, take your heart and run so far away."

She then broke into "Remember That," with the lines "Remember how he pushed you in the hallway just enough to hurt a little bit/ Remember the whiskey in his whispers and the lies that fell so easy from his lips/ He said he'll never do it again/ You can't take it back/ The proof is on your skin/ Remember that.

"It doesn't matter how he hurts you/ With his hands or with his words/ You don't deserve it/ It ain't worth it/ Take your heart and run."

Simpson, who divorced Nick Lachey in 2006 after three years of marriage and subsequently dated musician John Mayer, alluded to her own relationship drama with "a guy that I couldn't get over" following a performance of "Still Don't Stop Me."

"After I wrote that song, I was mad at myself for being so weak, and I got over that guy!" she said.

Simpson has previously admitted to being in an abusive relationship of her own, but she has never identified the man involved.

Private Chris Brown Court Date Nixed Without Explanation

Los Angeles (E! Online) – As Chris Brown gets ready to face the music, his legal team is apparently still getting its act together.

A private court meeting had originally been called for Monday at Team Brown's request. On Friday, the in-chambers hearing was postponed, purportedly due to a scheduling conflict. Now, we have learned that the hearing has been canceled altogether.

"The next date [in Brown's felony case] is April 6 for the arraignment. The hearing is not being rescheduled," said a court clerk.

E! News previously reported that the 19-year-old singer's attorney, Mark Geragos, has been trying to work out a plea deal, but Geragos has yet to comment on why the meeting was nixed.

Brown's manager did, however, deny an earlier report alleging the meeting was called because Brown was looking to ditch Geragos along with the singer's management and PR team.

The embattled entertainer faces two felony counts—assault likely to produce great bodily injury and making criminal threats—stemming from the alleged Feb. 8 altercation with Rihanna following a Grammys pre-party.

Brown was not required to be in court for this week's hearing.

In fact, his legal troubles appeared to be the furthest thing from his mind this past weekend. Brown was spotted back in his home state of Virginia riding a bike and later accompanying his cousin on a campus tour of Norfolk State University.
