Texas brothers win

The Spurs displayed their championship banner, promptly checked their championship rings, and did their job beating the Blazers 106-97. Duncan led the charge with 24 and 13 while Parker added 19 markers. Kobe was heading for a late game comeback win but was cut short when Battier shot a three with over 2 seconds left in the game. Kobe had 45 points including 18 in the final period, but it was not enough to offset Yao's 25 and 12 along with Mcgrady's 30 points. The Rockets almost let the Lakers come back by squandering a 14-point lead, when the Lakers when on a 13-0 run that tied the game with 13 seconds left.
