The Lakers move on to the second round of the 2009 NBA playoffs after defeating the Utah Jazz at home. The Lakers dominated the game since the start and never looked back. Kobe had another great game with 31 points and 4 steals. The Lakers can now take a small rest and wait until the next round which it looks like they will face the Houston Rockets. The Lakers have not lost to the Rockets this season and I believe they have the potential to sweep their way into the Conference Finals.
