NBA Playoffs: Lakers Pull One Out At The End To Take A 3-2 Series Lead

At Los Angeles:

Ron Artest beat the buzzer with a wild bank shot after rounding Kobe Bryant's miss as the Los Angeles Lakers took a three-games-to-two lead in the NBA's Western Conference final with a 103-101 home win in game five over the Phoenix Suns.  As for Kobe, he very nearly wound up with a triple-double as he scored 30 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and made 9 assists.  Pau Gasol added 21 points and Derek Fisher added 22 for the Lakers.  Steve Nash had 29 points to pace Phoenix.  Los Angeles can wrap up the series with a win in Phoenix on Saturday.  If the Suns hold serve, then game seven would be played on Monday back in Los Angeles.
