“Litvak shakes his head and starts to write something out on the pad, but before he finishes, a cheer goes up in the outer room. The heartfelt but self-conscious whoop of young men watching something great on television. A goal has been scored. A girl playing beach volleyball has fallen out of her bikini top.”

I had no idea this was in the works. Mendes would definitely be a better fit for this; American Beauty speaks for itself. Regardless, this sounds extremely interesting.
Gasol lifts Lakers past Thunder and into the second round →

The Los Angeles Lakers are moving on — battered and bruised, but not beaten.
Pau Gasol tipped in a missed jumper by Kobe Bryant with a half-second left and the defending champion Lakers survived a late comeback effort by Oklahoma City and eliminated the Thunder 95-94 in Game 6 of the first-round playoff series on Friday night.
“This is the playoffs. This is what it’s about,” Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson said. “When you have teams that have won 50 games in the course of a season like this Thunder team did, they have a sense of pride about them. They can play a game that’s obviously not far off of what our mark is or was this season.
“We said it was going to be tough, and it was a tough series.”
The Lakers were nearly pushed to the limit by eighth-seeded Oklahoma City, which won only 23 games last season before a 27-win improvement that was the best in the NBA. The Thunder climbed out of a seven-point hole with a 10-0 run in the fourth quarter but were held without a point over the final 2 1/2 minutes.
Gasol crashed to the rim at the right block and tipped in Bryant’s shot, then pumped both fists in celebration.
