Lakers outlast Kings to make the NBA Finals By Sam Smith Chicago Tribune SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KRT) — This time they were tested. This time it wasn’t easy. This time the Los Angeles Lakers were asked to play like champions, to show the heart and character of winners. They’d have to do it from be hind, on the road, against all odds. Coach Phil Jackson told them all season that winning a third straight title would be harder than taking the first two. It was here Sunday. It was also the first time a conference finals Game 7 ever went to overtime, and the Lakers matched the his toric challenge with a 112-106 vic tory that sent them heading to ward their third consecutive NBA championship. “It was the most drawn out, the most hotly contested,” said Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who is going for his record-tying ninth NBA title as a coach. “We had to squeeze every thing out of this (Lakers’) ballclub to win. (Now) we are going for the one that counts.” That’s the NBA Finals starting in Los Angeles on Wednesday against the New Jersey Nets. “They’re a terrific team because they play a lot of team basketball,” Jackson said of the Nets. “It’s pleas ing to watch. They play with a lot of motion, they play with a lot of mox ie, and we had two tough, rugged games against them. But we feel confident the winner of this confer ence is going to win the champi onship. And we still believe it.” It was easy to believe after a memorable Game 7, in which the Lakers matched a stretch of bril liant Mike Bibby play at the end of regulation — Bibby scored 10 of the Kings’ last 12 points in regula tion and finished with a team high 29 points. “It was a fun battle,” said Kobe Bryant, who had 30 points, 10 re- * bounds and seven assists and shad owed Bibby at the end. “It was the most fun I’ve had playing against * any individual all year. It was a heck of a series. They gave us a run for our money.” © 2002, Chicago Tribune. Distributed by Knight Ridder/Tribune Information Services. Women’s continued from page 9 road since 1993 when the Heinonen’s squad finished fourth, but he is confi dent they will be moving up in the standings in the near future. “That’s certainly what we ex pect,” he said. Looking ahead to next season, the Ducks are set to return all five NCAA participants — although Et ter hinted that she might be red shirted — as well as 2001 partici pant Niki Reed. Final championship notes Williams, considered one of the top runners in the NCAA and now in collegiate history, competed in a USC uniform for the last time on Saturday and did the unthinkable. She won the 100 at a time of 11.29, giving her four NCAA titles in the event, a record. “When I won this event as a fresh man, I remember the huge roar from the crowd and how it felt to see and hear people cheering for me,” she said. “When 1 won it tonight, there was that same reaction from the crowd and it felt to me like my ca reer had the proper bookends” On the team side, South Carolina made history with its first NCAA ti tle. The Gamecocks also broke the NCAA record in the 4x400 relay with a time of 3:26.46. “I can’t put into words how I feel right now,” said South Carolina 200 runner Lisa Barber. “Winning the school's first NCAA title — ever — wow! 1 am so proud of our entire team. We knew we had a chance if we just worked hard. We are thrilled. I am so proud of the men's and women's teams. ” Oregon said it “You’d better believe it. I’m going to be there.” — freshman Roslyn Lundeen on the prospects of compet ing the 2003 NCAA Championships, slated for Sacramento, Calif. “Since I was on the bubble for the final I couldn't watch the second flight and had to get away. I was so nervous, I went over and watched the (New Jersey Nets) basketball game.” — Etter on her final colle giate competition of the season. “It was strange environment in that it didn't seem like a champi onship meet. There wasn’t a lot of people here (1,495 spectators on Wednesday) or much crowd sup port. Early on I had to keep telling myself to focus because the NCAA championship was on the line.” — junior Becky Holliday, disappoint ed with the lack of a crowd on the first day of the NCAA Champi onships in Baton Rouge.

Then make those your top priorities. Think BIG. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 7 - You can t just go along with something of which you disapprove. You're never very outspoken about your opinions, but they still come through loud and clear - especially now, when you're right.
