In Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Lakers routed the Orlando Magic in Game 1 of the NBA Finals 100-75 to take a 1-0 series lead. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 40 points, the most points he has ever scored in an NBA Finals game. Bryant also led the Lakers with eight assists. Lamar Odom scored 11 points and had a team-high 14 rebounds. Nothing really went well for the Magic, who only shot 30% from the field. Mickael Pietrus led the Magic with a paltry 14 points. Dwight Howard grabbed 15 rebounds, but only scored 12 points. Game 2 of the NBA Finals is Sunday.
In Washington DC, the San Francisco Giants beat the Washington Nationals 5-1 to give pitcher Randy Johnson his 300th win of his career. Johnson pitched six innings and gave up one run, although it was unearned. The game was close throughout, with the Giants leading 2-1 going into the ninth inning. Randy Winn hit a two-RBI double and another run was scored to put the Giants ahead 5-1 and seal the game. Johnson is probably going to be the last 300th winner in quite a while. Closer Brian Wilson got the save for the Giants.
