Lakers hang on for 101-96 win in Game 2

LOS ANGELES (AP)—Lucky to have a second chance, the Los Angeles Lakers grabbed it.
Kobe Bryant(notes) and Co. held on and are in control of the NBA finals—just barely.
Orlando rookie Courtney Lee(notes) missed a potential winning layup as regulation ended, giving Los Angeles another shot. Pau Gasol(notes) scored seven points in overtime as the Lakers, so dominant in the series opener, survived with a 101-96 win over the Magic in Game 2 on Sunday night.
If Orlando doesn’t come back and win a game in the series, Lee’s miss may go down as one of the biggest gaffes in finals history.
He had a chance to give the Magic its first finals win, but misfired.
“We blew a lot of assignments tonight—a lot of assignments—and we still managed to get a win,” Bryant said.
Orlando may not get another one better.
