Lakers Take 3-2 Series Lead, Orioles Rally To Beat Blue Jays




In Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Denver Nuggets 103-94 to take a 3-2 series lead in the Western Conference Finals. Lamar Odom had a great game for the Lakers, scoring 19 points and a team-high 14 rebounds. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers in points with 22 points and in assists with eight. Andrew Bynum was the only starter not in double figures, and overall, five players were in double figures. Carmelo Anthony led the Nuggets with 31 points, and also had four rebounds and four assists. Nene led the Nuggets in rebounding with eight. Game 6 is Friday in Denver.




In Baltimore, the Baltimore Orioles beat the Toronto Blue Jays 12-10 in 11 innings after trailing for much of the game. The Blue Jays led 8-3 entering the bottom of the eighth inning when the Orioles rallied with five runs in the inning to tie the game at eight. The game went into extra innings tied at eight. In the 11th inning, Aaron Hill hit a two-run home run to put the Blue Jays up 10-8. In the bottom half of the 11th inning, the Orioles came right back. Luke Scott made it a one-run game with his RBI single, and then Nolan Reimold ended it with a game-winning three-run home run. Brian Wolfe gave up the game-winning home run and therefore got the loss for the Blue Jays, despite a good outing from Roy Halladay.
