Bryant's heroics lift Lakers past Raptors
Basketball Betting Lines
03/10/2010 -
Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kobe Bryant played hero again, sinking the
winning jumper from the right baseline with 1.9 seconds left, and the Los Angeles Lakers snapped a three-game skid with a 109-107 victory over the
Toronto Raptors.
Bryant, who missed a potential winning three-pointer at the end of regulation
in a 106-105 loss in Toronto on January 24, scored 32 points, dished out six
assists and had six rebounds.
Andrew Bynum tallied 22 points, while Pau Gasol registered 17 points and nine
boards for the Lakers, who were on their longest skid since January of 2008.
Chris Bosh hit the tying three-pointer with 9.5 seconds left in regulation and
finished with 22 points for Toronto, which has lost six of seven overall and
eight straight on the road against the Lakers. Andrea Bargnani added 21 points
and Jarrett Jack notched 18 points, seven boards and seven assists.
A turnover by Hedo Turkoglu led to a pair of free throws for Derek Fisher,
giving the Lakers a 106-102 lead with 30.6 seconds left.
Jose Calderon then drove in for a quick bucket before Lamar Odom made 1-of-2
at the charity stripe with 19.6 seconds left. Bosh then tied the game from the
top of the arc before Bryant worked his magic.
Bryant drove around Antoine Wright and shot the ball over a pair of defenders
before it swished through for the lead. It was the sixth game-winning shot of
the season for Bryant, who had 14 points in the last quarter.
"They didn't come early at me and I got the shot off," Bryant said. "That's
part of my responsibility, to close teams out. Our defense tonight was
garbage. We have to focus on execution."
Wright's desperation shot from deep in his own end was way off the mark.
"It was no secret he was going to take the shot," Toronto coach Jay Triano
said. "We ran two guys at him and he still made it."
Toronto trailed 29-24 after one quarter, but surged late in the second to grab
a 58-50 lead at halftime. The Raptors continued to hold the advantage in the
third, moving to the last period with an 84-81 edge.
