KOBE Bryant rescued the Los Angeles Lakers by dropping a baseline jump shot with four seconds to play to close out a six-game road trip with a 94-92 win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
Bryant, who entered the contest as the NBA's scoring leader, had just seven points in the opening half but took charge in the second, finishing with 27 points to send the Lakers home with a 3-3 split from their longest road trip of the season.
"The bottom line is it was Kobe's two shots at the end of the game," Lakers coach Mike Brown said. "That's who he is."
Trailing 86-90 with less than a minute to play, Bryant nailed a three-point shot to slice the Raptors advantage to one then fed Metta World Peace for a go layup. After Jose Calderon, who hit a career high 30 points, answered for Toronto to retake the lead 92-91, Bryant closed out the scoring from the foul line.
Also, it was: Wizards 98, Pistons 77; Heat 107, Hawks 87; Warriors 106, Rockets 97; and Jazz 98, Grizzlies 88.
