The Los Angeles Lakers won their 15th franchise championship on Sunday night, defeating the Orlando Magic, 99-86, in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Finals MVP Kobe Bryant, who won his fourth NBA title, had 30 points in Game 5 and averaged 32.4 points in the series.

“It felt so good to be able to have this moment. We tried not to envision it too much because you just get too excited,” Bryant said. “You try not to think about it, just think about playing the game, and for this moment to be here and to reflect back on the season and everything that you’ve been through, it’s the top of the list.”

After winning his 10th career title, Lakers coach Phil Jackson broke a tie with legendary Celtics coach Red Auerbach and set a new NBA record for championships by a coach.

“I’ll smoke a cigar tonight in memory of Red,” Jackson said.
