After falling behind by as many as 16 points and down 15 early in the 4th quarter, the Lakers mounted a comeback for the ages. Kobe led the charge with a team high 25 points and 11 rebounds while dishing out 7 assists and blocking 4 shots. The Lakers dominated the 4th quarter, out-scoring Portland 31-13 and clinching their first Finals appearance since 1991.
