Bryant leads Lakers past Warriors
Basketball Betting Lines
02/19/2009 -
Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kobe Bryant scored 30 points and dished out
nine assists as the Los Angeles Lakers rallied to beat Golden State, 129-121,
winning for the ninth time in 10 games.
Pau Gasol tallied 24 points and 13 rebounds for the Lakers, who moved to an
NBA-best 44-10 record. Lamar Odom ended with 22 points and seven boards for
Los Angeles, which beat Golden State for a fourth straight time.
Trevor Ariza scored 17, Josh Powell 16 and Derek Fisher 12 for the Lakers, who
trailed most of the game before taking command late in the final quarter.
Bryant, coming off a lackluster 10-point performance in a home win over the
Hawks on Tuesday, shot 9-of-22 from the field and missed two of his 12 foul
shots. He also had two scintillating blocks.
Stephen Jackson totaled 24 points, six boards and nine assists for the
Warriors, who had a three-game win streak broken. Corey Maggette had 24 points
off the bench before fouling out, and Jamal Crawford scored 23. Anthony
Randolph played a spirited game with 14 points and 12 assists in defeat.
Rony Turiaf's bucket expanded Golden State's lead to 109-105 with under five
minutes remaining, but back-to-back three-pointers by Ariza started a game-
changing 17-3 spurt. Odom's short shot gave LA the lead at 113-111, and his
three-point play moved the margin to 116-112 with 2:47 left.
Bryant spun with the ball near the lane, stepped back and nailed a jumper from
the right side for a 122-112 margin with 1:10 left to cap the spurt and in all
intensive purposed, the Laker victory.
Golden State led 34-30 after the opening quarter and the Warriors were up
68-62 at the half. The hosts increased that lead to 86-76 midway through the
third, but the Lakers rallied to tie later in the quarter before trailing
94-92 moving to the fourth.
