LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- After his shot dropped to beat the buzzer, win the game and lift the Los Angeles Lakers to just two wins away from their first NBA Finals appearance since 2010, Anthony Davis shouted out one word that said it all: "Kobe!"
Davis' 3-pointer from the left wing put L.A. up 2-0 in the Western Conference finals over the Denver Nuggets, winning the game 105-103 as time expired, and it improved L.A.'s postseason record to 3-0 wearing its alternative "Black Mamba" uniforms, which Kobe Bryant helped design several years before his death.
