Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard(notes) (12) blocks a shot by Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant(notes) (24) as Magic guard Mickael Pietrus(notes) (20) of France defends during the second half of Game 2 of the NBA basketball finals Sunday, June 7, 2009, in Los Angeles.

Kobe Bryant and Co. held on and are in control of the NBA finals -- just barely. Orlando rookie Courtney Lee missed a potential winning layup as regulation ended, giving Los Angeles another shot it didn't waste.
