Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher hit back-to-back 3-pointers during an 8-2 run in the final minute and the Lakers held on for a 111-110 victory over the Utah Jazz on Saturday night that put Los Angeles on the verge of sweeping the Western Conference playoff series....

With clutch 3-pointers late in the game and in overtime, Derek Fisher helped give Los Angeles a commanding 3-1 lead over Orlando in the N.B.A. finals.

Kobe Bryant has 33 points and Jordan Farmar fills in admirably for suspended Derek Fisher with 12 points, seven assists, five rebounds, two steals, one blocked shot and only one turnover in 33 minutes.

Down a player, weary from a brutal Game 2, on the road in a tougher-than-expected Western Conference semifinal series, the Lakers responded the only way they knew how.
