The three-year championship reign of the Los Angeles Lakers came to a decisive end Thursday night.

Two-time MVP Tim Duncan had 37 points and 16 rebounds, and Tony Parker added 27 points as the San Antonio Spurs overpowered the tired, beat-up Lakers 110-82 to win the Western Conference semifinal series 4-2.

Thus, the Lakers won't join the Boston Celtics as the only NBA teams to win more than three straight championships. The Celtics won eight straight from 1959-66.

The Lakers had won 13 straight playoff series under coach Phil Jackson, and were 4-0 under Jackson when facing elimination.
