Kobe Bryant looked back and found himself all alone. All but guaranteed the basket, he went up and slammed the ball with a little extra oomph, just for good measure.
One more win, and Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers will be all alone in the Western Conference and on their way to the NBA Finals.
The Lakers beat the San Antonio Spurs 93-91 on Tuesday night - surviving a last-second 3-point attempt that would have given the Spurs the win - for a 3-1 lead in the conference finals.
"It is a big step for us,'' said Bryant, who led the Lakers with 28 points and 10 rebounds. "Tonight we came out and did a much, much better job to win in this building in this particular game. It's big for us.''
The defending champion Spurs lost at home for the first time this postseason and they face elimination when they play Game 5 in Los Angeles on Thursday.
The Lakers were last in the Finals in 2004 when they lost to Detroit in five games.
