Anthony and Billups Lead Denver Past Lake Show
Published on May 21, 2009 at 10:52PM
LOS ANGELES (AP)—Carmelo Anthony ensued in his recent magnificence with 34 points and nine rebounds and Chauncey Billups added 27 more points as the Denver Nuggets got past the Los Angeles Lakers, 106-103 in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals Thursday at STAPLES Center. Despite the Nuggets’ resurgence, they were sluggish throughout much of the first half, but a late second quarter surge brought them to within 55-54 at halftime. As the game ensued, Anthony continued to make clutch jumpers while an unexpected offensive explosion from Linas Kleiza (16 points) enabled Denver to ultimately take the lead late in the fourth quarter. Although Kobe Bryant (32 points) virtually matched Anthony point for point, a key defensive stop late in the game enabled the Nuggets to prevail. Kenyon Martin added 16 more points for the Nuggets, while Trevor Ariza had 20 points in the loss for Los Angeles. The series will resume Saturday evening at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
