(AP) - Proficiently and profes
sionally, the Los Angeles Lakers
finished strong, closed out the
New Jersey Nets and won their
third straight N BA title with a fran
chise first - a 4-0 sweep in the
finals.
Shaquille O'Neal had another
dominant night with 34 points and
10 rebounds and Kobe Bryant
went back to playing a supporting
role with 25 points in the 113-107
victory last Wednesday.
The rest o f the Lakers alsocame
up big in the deciding game - just
as they did a year ago against the
Philadelphia 76ers.
It was the Lakers' 14th title in
franchise history, five while the
team was in Minneapolis - includ
ing a threc-pcat - and nine in Los
Angeles. This, however, was the
first time the Lakers beat an oppo
nent in four straight games in the
finals.
"These dogs went to work, and
they worked real hurd this sea
son," coach Phil Jackson said.
A fter the final buzzer, the Lak
ers were subdued in their celebra
tion. They’ ve gotten used to this
d rill, and the only people in purple
whooping it up were several hun
dred Los Angeles fans in the
stands.
B ry a n t w alke d o ve r and
hugged Nets coach Bryon Scott,
and O ' Neal sought out Nets guard
Jason Kidd and then walked over
to embrace his grandfather, who
