Lakers knock out Thunder on Gasol's tip-in

A series that was all about Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant ended up being decided by the superstar who got lost in the shuffle....

Senh: NBA teams need to watch out for Gasol's tip-in's. He did the same exact thing in one of the games against the Sacramento King's this season. Exact same thing. Kobe shot it, missed, tip in by Gasol, game won. I know that if it's a one possession game, and they have the ball at the end, they're gonna win. I'm not sure what Phil Jackson feeds his players, but each year, they always make the play to win these type of games.
