With that block he tied the record for most blocked shots in a single post season game held by Hakeem "the Dream" Olajuwon and Mark Eaton. He also broke the team record previously held by the legendary Kareem Abdul-Jabaar.
To make the night even better for Bynum and the Lakers, he also had 10 points and 13 rebounds to record the first triple-double in post season play for the Lakers since Magic Johnson did it back in the 1991 Finals.
Oh, and in case anyone cares, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets 103-88.
