- Kobe Bryant played like the Kobe of old, averaging nearly 30 points per game in the Series and playing great Defense on Kevin Durant... Kobe was the deciding factor in the series and with him, Roger Fox, and Dwight Howard, the Lakers are playing better then ever... If this is Kobe's "last ride" and he keeps playing like this, its looking like he might have a chance to bring home his 7th NBA Championship

- The young Hornets had a great run, and they without question have a great future ahead of them, but, in this Series the uptempo Nuggets just wore them down... Ty Lawson averaged a double double in the series, 20 points and 11.1 assists per game... In the end the Nuggets were just too deep for the young Hornets and outside of Anthony Davis and Nerlens Noel, they couldn't get much help from the rest of the team...
