More than 100,000 joyous Lakers fans filled the streets of downtown Los Angeles and jammed the Memorial Coliseum on Wednesday for a parade marking the team's 15th NBA championship.

Farmar is now the backup to backup Shannon Brown at point guard. His minutes and scoring are dropping. But he says all he wants to do is win.

He has 16 points and seven rebounds in first game since Jan. 31. Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol pace victory over the Nuggets.
