NBA.com Bryant leads Lakers past Knicks 116-114
Quote:
LOS ANGELES(AP) Kobe Bryant scored nine of his 28 points in the last 7 1/2 minutes, and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied from a 15-point halftime deficit to beat the New York Knicks 116-114 on Tuesday night.Trevor Ariza scored the go-ahead basket with 1:03 remaining to give the Lakers (21-3) their 14th win in 16 games.
Nate Robinson, who scored a season-high 33 points, had a chance to give New York the lead, but missed a short jumper with about 12 seconds to play. Two foul shots by Derek Fisher with 6.4 seconds left made it 115-112, and the Lakers then intentionally fouled Robinson, who made two foul shots with 3.8 seconds left to make it a one-point game.
Fisher made another foul shot with 2.7 seconds left, and Chris Duhon missed a desperation shot from the backcourt as time expired.

Lakers are currently sitting on an .875 winning percentage, which comes out to 71.75 wins in an 82 game schedule. 72-10 is daunting, but ho hum, there are 3 teams threatening that mark right now.
