The Black Mamba vs. The Answer: Round 1: Pau Powers Lakers

Pau Gasol really wanted his first playoff win of his career.

How bad?

How about 36 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists bad?

Gasol was the driving force of the Laker attack as they powered their way to a 128-114 win against the Denver Nuggets. Kobe Bryant scored 18 of his 32 down the stretch to seal the win.

Denver needs to find an answer for Gasol quick and try to make Kobe and Co. beat them with jumpers to have a shot in the rest of the series.

Seeing as statues play better defense than the Nuggets, I'd say this one's a sweep.
