SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA - The two-time defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers were pushed further than they've been pushed in the playoffs in three years - into overtime on the road in Game 7 of the conference finals. <br>
<br>
Did they flinch? Not at all. <br>
<br>
Shaquille O'Neal and Derek Fisher came through in the clutch for the Lakers on a night when Kobe Bryant didn't make a basket in either the fourth quarter or overtime, sending the Lakers back to the championship round with a 112-106 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.<br>
<br>
In a Game 7 every bit as good as the series it concluded, the Lakers were the team with more poise when money time arrived.
