Kobe Bryant:

“Two nights after being denied the chance to close, Kobe Bryant did the closing Saturday. Closed the Nuggets. Closed the game. Closed the argument. Bryant remains the best in basketball at finishing. Period. Only hours after LeBron James closed dramatically with a single shot, Bryant closed with an entire quarter not quite as dramatic but certainly just as brilliant. Sorry, King. The crown still belongs in Los Angeles.” [OC Register]
