Semi-Finals Game 2: Denver N. - LA Lakers 106-103

Date: May 21, 2009
That's when Kenyon Martin hit a layup in traffic and Chauncey Billups made 3 of 4 free throws to give Denver a 106-103 victory in Game 2 on Thursday night to even the Western Conference finals. It was Denver's first-ever playoff win against Los Angeles, which owned an 11-0 record dating to 1985, the second-longest post-season winning streak against one team in NBA history. Carmelo Anthony had 34 points and 14 rebounds, Billups had 27 points and 16 rebounds and Linas Kleiza added 16 points for the Nuggets. Nene finished with six points, nine rebounds and six assists. Kobe Bryant had 32 points, including making all 10 of his free throws, Trevor Ariza scored a career playoff-high 20 points and Pau Gasol 17 points and 17 rebounds for the Lakers, who dropped to 7-2 at Staples Center in the playoffs this season. 'To get one on the road is always tough. We came in and got it,' Anthony said. 'We're mentally tough and we showed that in this game coming off the loss that we gave away in Game 1.' Game 3 is Saturday in Denver.
