Let\'s give it up for the Pacific Divison Champions! Bryant misses that shot, the Lakers are the four seed. He hits it, they\'re the two, and head of their division. Somehow, he hits it. It would have been absolutely brutal for the Lakers to have cost themselves home-court in the second round as a result of twice losing to Portland, the second time with the Blazers already eliminated. But they won tonight, displaying the gutty clutch play that defines great postseason teams. And the Kings helped by losing to almighty Golden State. The regular-season soap opera is over. The fun starts this weekend. I like the Lakers chances.
