Denver stuck to its game plan to double Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant at all costs and live with the open looks it was giving up to the rest of the Lakers.

(Steve) Blake shot 14-for-30 from beyond the arc in the series and his teammates loved him hitting his open looks.

“It’s a huge lift because then you’re making them pay for the silly defense they’re playing,” said Bynum who became more than a little frustrated with the double teams he saw all series as Denver sat in his lap and dared L.A. to strike from the outside.
