Lakers end the misery for Nuggets

Date published: 4/30/2008

DENVER

--With three rings to his credit, getting out of the first round is not that big of deal to Kobe Bryant.

Carmelo Anthony would not mind finding out what that feels like.

Pau Gasol kept the Los Angeles Lakers in the game early until Bryant caught fire late as the Los Angeles La-kers completed a first-round sweep of Denver with a 107-101 win Monday night.

For Anthony and the Nuggets, it's the fifth straight time their season has ended with a first-round loss.

"It's disappointing," said Anthony, who scored 21 points .

The Lakers will meet the winner of the Utah-Houston series in the Western Conference semifinals.
