洛杉矶消息——科比背部受伤，但科比今天的表现依旧堪称完美。
Bryant scored 26 points, his teammates kept Utah at bay down the stretch, and Los Angeles Lakers extended the stunning home success by NBA teams in the second round of the playoffs, beating the Jazz 111-104 on Wednesday night to take a 3-2 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.
科比带伤出战，仍拿下26分，他和队友们打得爵士走投无路。湖人的本场胜利，延续了季后赛第二轮中主场球队近似主场不败的恐怖战绩。星期三比赛（北京时间星期四），湖人以111-104击败爵士，在西部半决赛中取得3-2领先。
The Lakers, who never trailed, can advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2004 with a victory Friday night in Utah. But if form prevails, the teams will be playing a seventh and deciding game Monday night at Staples Center, where Los Angeles has a 17-3 record against the Jazz since the arena opened before the 1999-2000 season.
两队的第5场比赛将于星期五晚（北京时间周六）在爵士开打。如果赢下这场比赛，湖人将自2004赛季后首次进入西部决赛。如果不顺利，两队将在周一晚（北京时间周二）斯台普斯进行第七场比赛的较量。自1999-2000赛季斯台普斯开馆以来，湖人对阵爵士的战绩是17胜3负。
Home teams have won 19 of the 20 games played in the second round. The Lakers are the top-seeded team in the Western Conference, meaning they have home-court advantage through the first three rounds of the postseason.
季后赛第二轮中，主场球队的主场战绩为19胜1负。湖人以西部第一的身份进入季后赛，这意味着他们在季后赛前三轮都拥有绝对的主场优势。
"That's what you play for," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said before the game. "When you start off the season, you want to try and get the home-court advantage because I think it's been pretty big in this league."
“那就是常规赛的意义，”爵士主教练斯隆在赛前表示，“赛季开始的时候，你就应该把握每一场比赛，以争取季后赛的主场优势。主场优势对任何一支球队都很重要。
Lakers coach Phil Jackson fell short of calling Game 5 a must-win for his team beforehand, but added: "We held serve (in the first two games), they held serve (in the second two), now it's time for us to hold serve. That's what this is all about."
湖人主教练杰克逊在赛前还不能确保湖人一定能拿下第五场比赛，“我们先发制人（前两场比赛），他们厚积薄发（接下来的两场比赛），现在我们都已经熟悉了对方。事情就是这个样子。”
Bryant tweaked his back in the opening minutes of Sunday's 123-115 overtime loss at Utah that tied the series. Sore back and all, he had 33 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists while playing 46 minutes.
科比在星期天（北京时间星期一）对阵爵士的第4场比赛中一开场就拧伤了后背，导致湖人以123-115加时不敌爵士。即使负伤上阵，科比上场46分钟，得到33分，8个篮板，10个助攻。
The MVP didn't practice Monday or Tuesday, resting and receiving treatment. Clearly, it never occurred to him that he might be seriously hindered in Game 5, much less not play.
MVP星期一和星期二都没有参加训练，而是休息和接受治疗，但这并没有影响到科比第五场比赛的发挥。
Bryant, who also had six rebounds and seven assists, scored only three points in the fourth quarter, all from the foul line after the outcome had been decided. He didn't attempt a field goal in the final period.
这场比赛中，科比贡献6个篮板，7个助攻，但在第四节只贡献3分，而这3分全部来自罚球。他并没有在最后时刻尝试投篮。
Lamar Odom had 22 points and 11 rebounds, Pau Gasol added 21 points, six rebounds and eight assists, Vladimir Radmanovic scored 15 points and Derek Fisher added 14 for the Lakers, who were 17-1 during the regular season when all five starters scored in double figures.
奥多姆22分，11个篮板，加索尔21分，6个啊两年半，8个助攻。拉德马诺维奇15分，费舍尔14分。常规赛中，当5位首发都上双时，湖人的战绩是17胜1负。
All five Utah starters also scored in double figures led by Deron Williams, who had 27 points and 10 assists. Carlos Boozer added 18 points and 12 rebounds, Ronnie Brewer scored a career playoff-high 16 points, Mehmet Okur had 13 points and 13 rebounds, and Andrei Kirilenko scored 12 for the Jazz.
威廉姆斯27分，10个助攻。在威廉姆斯的带领下，爵士5名首发得分均上双。布泽尔18分，12个篮板。布鲁尔得到职业生涯最高的16分。奥库13分，13个篮板。基里连科12分。
A three-point play by Odom with 6:19 remaining gave the Lakers a 97-91 lead. But the Jazz battled back, and a 3-pointer by Williams as the shot clock wound down moved the Jazz within one point with 2:18 left.
离比赛结束剩6分19秒时，奥多姆的三分命中，使湖人以97-91领先。爵士打出一波进攻高潮，威廉姆斯进攻24秒最后时刻的三分，使爵士在2分18秒时把比分追至1分。
That would be as close as the Jazz would get.
这是爵士本场比赛的最小差距。
Okur's basket with 59 seconds to play made it 103-102, but two baskets by Gasol extended the Lakers' lead to 107-102 with 20 seconds remaining. Williams then missed a 3-pointer, and the Jazz were done.
比赛还剩59秒，奥库得分，比分追至103-102。加索尔连续两次命中，把比分拉开至107-102。这时离比赛结束还剩20秒。威廉姆斯3分失手，爵士错失比赛。
The Jazz, who trailed by as many as 12 points in the second quarter, outscored the Lakers 15-8 to start the second half, tying the game at 69. Bryant scored 10 points in the quarter, including his team's final six, but the game was tied 81-all entering the final period.
爵士在第二节一度落后湖人12分。一股15-8的冲击波，爵士把比分追至69平。科比在这节得到10分，包括球队最后的6分。爵士在本节过后把比分扳至81-81平。
The game was tied for a fourth and final time early in the fourth quarter before the Lakers went ahead for good on a foul shot by Luke Walton -- his only point of the game -- with 9:54 to play.
两队在第四节开场时比分焦灼。沃顿罚球两罚一中，湖人开始保持领先。但这是沃顿仅得的1分。这时离比赛结束还剩9分54秒。
After a scoreless first quarter, Gasol shot 6-for-9 and scored 15 points in the second period, helping the Lakers outscore the Jazz 32-28 for a 61-54 halftime lead. Utah trailed by only seven points despite committing 15 turnovers in the opening 24 minutes.
加索尔第一节发挥不佳，但在第二节9投6中，得到15分，帮助湖人以32-28领先。
Bryant showed right away his back wasn't going to be a major problem, firing in a 3-pointer and another jumper in the opening 50 seconds to give the Lakers a quick 5-0 lead. The Jazz made their first four shots -- all by Brewer -- but trailed 15-8 thanks to five turnovers.
科比证明他的背伤并不是大问题。开场时，科比三分发力，接着跳投得分，湖人50秒内就以5-0领先。爵士的布鲁尔开始发威，投中爵士开场的前四个球。由于5个失误，双方比分15-8。
Radmanovic, who averaged 5.5 points in the first four games of the series, made consecutive 3-pointers to give him 10 points and the Lakers a 25-16 lead before the Jazz trimmed the deficit to 29-26 entering the second quarter.
