The Western Conference Finals head into game 6 tonight as the Lakers and Suns square off in Phoenix. Los Angeles has a 3-2 series lead and can secure its second consecutive trip to the NBA Finals with a win this evening at the U.S. Airways Center. The Lakers barely escaped disaster on Thursday night as Ron Artest, who scored just four points in the pivotal contest, banked home a shot at the buzzer to give his team a 103-101 victory. The win was the seventh in a row for Los Angeles against the Suns at the STAPLES Center, but it was a much closer call than the previous six, which the Lakers won by an average of 17.2 points per game.
