Frank Vogel's Los Angeles Lakers took another small step toward the NBA Finals tonight (Sunday through Monday), when they put together a second win over Denver, this time particularly dramatic en route to 103-105 and 0-2 in the Western Conference Finals.

It happened thanks to a huge three on Anthony Davis' buzzer, which scored a total of 31 points, including his last 10 points from his winning team.

Denver, who twice came out of a hole in the playoffs and tonight also managed to escape a 16-point deficit (until Davis arrived), was a partner in another dramatic, high-quality game that took place in the bubble, but this time had to watch the Lakers players' happy dances. End after 10 years.

The U.S. media had already managed to call Davis 'three-pointer "like the Mamba shot," and the Lakers' chin certainly explained why. "As soon as the ball came in, I shouted 'Kobe!'

He would score such insane shots in the playoffs.

It is definitely a special moment for me and my team, "said Davis, who came up to play with his friends, for the third time this season, with the special jerseys in memory of Kobe Bryant

"Every time we wear these uniforms, we feel different," the gifted chin continued, "with them we feel a greater urge to win. It just helps us. You see we wear those jerseys what happens, these are the mamba jerseys. We are not going to lose. "When we are with these jerseys, we do not want to lose at all. That's why they brought me here, for big moves that win games."

"I wish we were playing at Staples. We miss our fans so much ... it probably would have blew the roof off Staples Center ..."

LeBron James, who finished with 26 points, explained what happened to his team in money-time: "I'm sure the crowd was insane from such a basket. Everyone can talk and interpret what they want, but when they get to the ring 10 times out of 10 times they will do in their pants. I wish we were playing at Staples Center, the roof there would have flown from this three-pointer. "

On Davis' big basket: "Anthony just stepped on the floor and proved why he is one of the best players in the world. During the most important game, Rondo did the right thing. I definitely thought the ball would be passed in my direction, but Davis was in a much more comfortable position than I was."

Coach Frank Vogel also referred to the night everyone remembered Kobe Bryant: "It's a shot that Kobe Bryant would have scored. Every moment we're in that uniform, we want to remember and be a part of what Kobe was."
