2002 NBA Finals Game 1 June 5, 2002🔥Los Angeles Lakers vs New Jersey Nets (Full Game Highlights) 🔥 📍 Staples Center - Los Angeles CA 🏀 Game Highlights: June 5, 2002 at STAPLES Center opened the 2002 NBA Finals with a close battle between the defending champion Lakers and the New Jersey Nets. Jason Kidd delivered a triple-double to keep New Jersey alive, but Shaquille O’Neal controlled the paint all night with another dominant Finals performance. Behind Shaq’s 36 points and 16 rebounds, plus key support from Kobe Bryant, Rick Fox, and Derek Fisher, the Lakers held off the Nets to take Game 1. ⭐ Star Performances: • Shaquille O’Neal — 36 PTS, 16 REB • Kobe Bryant — 22 PTS, 3 REB, 6 AST • Rick Fox — 14 PTS, 8 REB, 3 AST • Derek Fisher — 13 PTS, 1 REB, 2 AST • Robert Horry — 5 PTS, 8 REB, 4 AST • Jason Kidd — 23 PTS, 10 REB, 10 AST • Kenyon Martin — 21 PTS, 6 REB • Keith Van Horn — 12 PTS, 6 REB 📼 Why This Game Stands Out: This game set the tone for the 2002 NBA Finals, showing the Nets could compete but also reminding everyone how unstoppable Shaq was on the championship stage.
