After winning the first two games by dominating inside, the Los Angeles Lakers went outside in Game 3 and took a 3-0 series lead on the Utah Jazz in the Western Conference playoffs. Kobe Bryant(notes) and Derek Fisher(notes) hit back-to-back 3-pointers during an 8-2 run in the final minute and the Lakers held on for a 111-110 victory over Utah Jazz on Saturday that put Los Angeles on the verge of a sweep The Lakers outlasted the Jazz in a frenzied fourth quarter, which included 12 lead changes before Utah’s final attempt bounced off the rim in the final second. “It was fun basketball to watch, I’m sure,” said Bryant, who scored 35 to lead the Lakers. “Guys just coming down making big shot after big shot, and big play after big play. It was certainly fun to be a part of.” From the Lakers’ perspective, it was a blast. They never led by more than four, but stayed close enough to win it in the final minute and steal away Utah’s first home game of the series. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap;_ylt=Ao06C.SFcNVlCwpf0qTQcCq8vLYF?gid=2010050826
