Lakers 2-0 up in NBA finals

12:37 pm on 10 June 2009

The Los Angeles Lakers have a commanding 2-0 lead over the Orlando Magic in the best-of-seven NBA basketball finals, though the home team was taken to overtime in game two after a big win in the opening game.

The Magic managed to close down Kobe Bryant on Saturday though he still managed 29 points in the Lakers' 101-96 win.

Only three teams have ever come back from a two-game deficit to win the NBA Finals, but the next three games, if needed, are in Orlando, with game three coming up today.
