Nuggets out-run Lakers in Game 1


Danilo Gallinari came up huge in Game 1 for the Nuggets

**GAME 1** - 118-79 Nuggets win (1-0)
- Danilo Gallinari - 25 points - 9 reb - 7 ast
- Ty Lawson - 17 points - 7 reb - 9 ast
- Dwight Howard - 17 points - 11 reb - 3 blk
- Roger Fox - 14 points - 6 reb - 2 ast - 2 stl - 2 blk
- Kobe Bryant - 12 points - 1 reb - 7 ast - 5/16 fg - 1/6 3pt

- After averaging nearly 30 points per game in the last Series, Kobe Bryant seemed to be defying all odds as the 37 year old wasn't showing any signs of being, 37 years old... Well, in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, Kobe looked, well, tired... His jumper was flat and he simply couldn't keep up on Defense with the uptempo Nuggets... Kobe struggled all game long and only scored 12 points on 5 of 16 shooting...

Nuggets SF Danilo Gallinari on the other hand was on fire, putting in 25 points, grabbing 7 rebounds and dishing out 9 assists... Ty Lawson had a great game also and the Nuggets look like the better, younger team in Game 1... The Lakers need to figure out how to slow this team down or its going to be a quick series...
