Kings 108
Salmons 24pts; Brown 21 pts, 7 ast; Thompson 15 pts, 7 rebs;
Lakers 118
Bryant 24 pts, 6 ast; Gasol 16 pts, 7 rebs; Bynum 14 pts, 10 rebs
It wasn’t the best of performances but the Lakers did enough to see them past the Kings to take their fourth straight win Sunday night.
Poor defense and ball handling throughout gave Sacramento lots of opportunities for easy scores most of which they took, shooting 53.4 percent from the field. But double-digit scoring from eight different players, not for the first time this season saved the home side.
Kobe top scored with 24 points and dropped six assists while Andrew Bynum continues to show why the Lakers were so desperate to hang on to him with ten boards to go along with his 14 points.
This was by no means an impressive victory, almost blowing a 19 point lead at one stage, but the important thing was they picked up the win to remain the best in the West and keep the momentum up going into Tuesday night’s home match against the Nets.
