SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)
— The two-time defending NBA
champion, the Los Angeles
Lakers, were pushed further than
they have been pushed in the
playoffs in three years — into
overtime on the road in Game 7
of the conference finals.
Did they flinch? Not at all.
Shaquille O’Neal and Derek
Fisher came through in the
clutch for the Lakers on a night
when Kobe Bryant did not make
a basket in either the fourth
quarter or overtime, sending the
Lakers back to the champi
onship round with a 112-106
victory over the Sacramento
Kings on Sunday.
In a Game 7 every bit as good
as the series it concluded, the
Lakers were the team with more
poise when money time arrived.
O’Neal, Fisher and Bryant
combined to go 8-for-8 from
the foul line in overtime, while
Sacramento could not put a
point on the board in the final
two minutes.
Bad shots, bad passes, bad
decisions — those were about
the only things the Kings did
well in an extra session that
went the Lakers’ way and gave
coach Phil Jackson his 27th con
secutive playoff series victory.
The Lakers will defend their
title beginning Wednesday
night and will be heavy
favorites against the New
Jersey Nets, a team with little
experience in the spotlight.
O’Neal, Bryant and their
cohorts have shown they can
thrive when the pressure is at its
highest, and Sunday’s overtime
was another example. O’Neal fin-

* after the first 30 days
ished with 35 points, 13 rebounds
and four blocks, while Bryant
had a quiet 30 as he scored only
four points in the final 17 minutes
— all on free throws.
Bryant’s final two from the
line gave the Lakers a six-point
lead with 6.4 seconds left. The
game ended with Webber hob
bling an inbounds pass.
Bryant went over and hugged
Sacramento’s Mike Bibby,
O’Neal threw a white towel into
the stands and Jackson went
over to shake hands with Kings
coach Rick Adelman.
Bibby had 29 and Webber 20
for the Kings, who worked all
season to gain the homecourt
advantage with this very
moment in mind.
But the Lakers are a team
that laughs at pressure, and they
confidently insisted all along
that they liked their chances if it
ever came down to a Game 7 at
Arco Arena.
That confidence made all the
difference.
Webber hit the first shot of
overtime, a 20-footer over
O’Neal, but even that did not
instill any faith in the fans.
The crowd went into a collec
tive hush every time Webber got
his hands in the ball, wondering
whether the big-salary player
with the reputation for failing at
crunch time would get it done.
Webber missed a jumper
with 1:38 left and O’Neal hit a
pair from the line for a 108-106
lead. After Bibby missed a
jumper, O’Neal got the ball in
the low post, spun around
Webber and — surprise —
missed a dunk.

for a I 10-106 lead with 14.6' >

Hedo Turkoglu ruined that

“It wasn’t easy, there are a lot
of surprises and all games are very
close at this level,” Raul said.
“There is more to come.”
England must hope there are no
more meetings with Sweden
ahead. A second-half goal by
Niclas Alexandersson gave the
Swedes a 1-1 tie and stretched their
unbeaten streak against the English
to 10 games — 3-0-7 — since
1968. FIFA does not recognize all
of those matches.
“It didn’t look good in the first
half,” Alexandersson said of
Sweden’s one-goal deficit at
Saitama, Japan. “We showed a lot
of fighting spirit in the second half,
when we came back into the game.
We could have won the match.”
Also Sunday, Argentina, the
pretournament favorite, edged
Nigeria 1-0 at Ibaraki, Japan, while
Paraguay and South Africa tied 2-2
at Busan, South Korea.
Gabriel Batistuta, a fixture in
the Argentina lineup but question
able to start after a poor, injury-
plagued season in Italy, sent an
angled header into the net off Juan
Sebastian Veron’s swinging corner
kick in the 63rd minute.
Batistuta moved into a tie for
sixth place in career World Cup
goals with 10.
“I am not thinking of any
records, I don’t care about that,”
he said. “But if I score goals, it
means that Argentina gets closer
every time to our goal, to win the
World Cup.”
At Busan, in a half-empty
53,926-seat stadium. South Africa
rallied from two goals down
against Paraguay.
Quinton Fortune scored on a
last-minute penalty kick after a
controversial call. Fortune drove
his kick into the top right corner
after the referee judged that
Paraguay goalie Ricardo
Tavarelli pulled down Sibusiso
Zuma. Replays indicated the
goalie barely touched Zuma
when the South African already
was on the way down.
Referee Lubos Michel of
Slovakia handed out eight yellow
cards, four to each team.
