You saw the game. Not a lot more I can tell you about it.

What struck me was the sense, in the second quarter, even before the 16-0 run, that Orlando’s spirit finally was breaking. The Magic had come back from seemingly crippling defeats throughout the playoffs, but this time it seemed like they knew they were done, and the light went out of their eyes.

After that, it was fairly routine. The Lakers played well, the Magic didn’t, and it was never in doubt from the moment that Lamar Odom hit the third-quarter three that made it 61-53 — about 15 seconds after Orlando had closed to 58-53 on a three of its own.

So, let’s go in another direction. Let’s rank the 10 championships the team won while in Los Angeles. The franchise has 15 titles, total, but the first five were in Minneapolis, and that hardly matters here.

How do we evaluate this? The major criteria: 1) How significant was the championship? 2) How fun was it? 3)  How difficult was it?

OK, here we go, from No. 10 to No. 1.

10. 2002: Lakers 4, New Jersey Nets 0. Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant won their third straight, and it was the only sweep of the three. New Jersey was not competitive, and we all knew it before the series even began. Also,  most of us assumed there would be more titles from the Shaq-Kobe crew. Put it this way: When the Lakers won this one, L.A. fans couldn’t be bothered to riot.

9. 2001:  Lakers 4,  Philadelphia 76ers 1.  The second of the Shaq-Kobe troika. The most comprehensive title, a 15-1 bull-rush through the playoffs. The only defeat was to the Allen Iverson-led Sixers, in overtime, in Game 1 of the series, but the Lakers fairly easily took the next four … and, again, we figured this was going to become typical.

8. 1982: Lakers 4, Philadelphia 76ers 2. The second of the Showtime Lakers championships, and not exactly an upset, even though Julius Erving’s Sixers entered the Finals with home-court advantage. The Lakers, led by Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, stole Game 1 in Philly, took Games 3 and 4 in Inglewood and closed it out at the Forum in Game 6. None of the games was close; the final five were decided by 10 points or more.

7. 1988: Lakers 4, Detroit Pistons 3.  Now we’re getting into the Tough to Pick zone. This was a heck of a series against a team that much of the time seemed better than the Lakers — the tougher,  younger, stronger Bad Boy Pistons. Kareem got the controversial foul call late in Game 6 and made the free throws that gave the Lakers a 103-102 victory. And Game 7 was a grind, too, with the Lakers winning 108-105 — the last of the five Showtime Lakers titles, and the only time the L.A. version of the franchise won it in a Game 7.

6. 1987: Lakers 4, Boston Celtics 2. Four of the six games were blowouts, including the deciding game at the Forum, but it was the Celtics and it was the only time the Lakers clinched a title over the Celtics at home. Plus, the series had the memorable finish to Game 4, when Magic threw in the Junior Sky Hook over Larry Bird,  Robert Parish and Kevin McHale in the final seconds of a one-point game at Boston.

5. 1980: Lakers 4, Philadelphia 76ers 2. The first of the Showtime Lakers championships, and a series that ended fairly dramatically in Philadelphia. The Lakers played without Kareem, who had injured his ankle in Game 5, and 20-year-old rookie Magic Johnson just took over in the clincher,  playing all five positions. He scored 42 points, took 15 rebounds and handed out seven assists. A great performance, and a championship that heralded the start of a dynasty. But the series seemed destined to go to the Lakers, which leaves it at No. 5 and not higher.

4. 1972: Lakers 4,  New York Knicks 1. Finally. The Lakers won their first championship in Los Angeles, after seven failures in the previous decade. It was a major breakthrough for the city and the franchise, and that’s why it ranks this high. But the series wasn’t close, and that was no surprise. These were the Lakers who went 69-13 and ran off a still-standing NBA-record 33-game winning streak. The protagonists were Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain and Gail Goodrich. But instead of this being a trigger for more titles, it was a one-off event.  The key players were aging, and it turned out to be a Last Hurrah.

3. 2009: Lakers 4,  Orlando Magic 1.  Maybe we will drop this one down a slot or two in a few years, but at the moment it seems like it could be a sign of the franchise reaching a point where it could squeeze off another one or two before Kobe is done. It validates Kobe as the dominant player on a championship team, picks up the Phil Jackson narrative of 2000-2002, when the Lakers looked dominant, and helps bury the embarrassment of Finals failures in 2004 and 2008. With Kobe still in his prime, albeit the back side of it, and Pau Gasol and (presumably) Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza still in the picture, there could be another one or two titles upcoming. It also was a much better series than the 4-1 would indicate. Three tight games, two overtime games, including the Lakers’ big rally in Game 4 capped by Derek Fisher’s monster three with 4.4 seconds left in regulation, and another huge three to put the Lakers up four in overtime.

2. 2000. Lakers 4, Indiana Pacers 2. This was Year 4 of the Shaq-Kobe Lakers (but the first year of Phil Jackson in L.A.), and they finally got it done,  winning a championship for the first time in 11 years — just when it looked as if this Shaq-Kobe thing would never quite work. It re-established the Lakers as the league’s dominant franchise, post-Michael Jordan. The Lakers would be the sport’s biggest story for the rest of the decade. The series was pretty good, too, with the 21-year-old Kobe seizing control in overtime of the series-turning Game 4, in Indianapolis, after Shaq had fouled out.  The Lakers’ Game 6 home clincher led to riotous (literally) celebrations all over Los Angeles.

1. 1985: Lakers 4, Boston Celtics 2.  This one had it all. The two great rival franchises. Two stacked teams. The Lakers’ Showtime style vs.  the Celtics rugged grit. It included the Memorial Day Massacre (Boston’s 146-114 victory in Game 1), a nerve-racking Game 4 (Celtics by 2) and then the supremely cathartic ultimate payback clincher, in Game 6, in Boston Garden. The one that killed the Leprechaun Curse and routed the Garden Jinx. This was huge for the franchise and for L.A. fans and remains the gold standard of Lakers championships.
