LARRY Sanders scored 13 of his career-high 21 points in the third quarter and the Milwaukee Bucks rallied to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 113-103 on Thursday in Milwaukee.
Sanders was 8 of 11 from the floor and had 13 rebounds. Ersan Ilyasova and Brandon Jennings each had 20 points, Monta Ellis added 18, and Marquis Daniels had 16 to help the Bucks end a four-game losing streak.
Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 30 points, leaving him four points behind Wilt Chamberlain (31,419) for fourth place on the NBA's career scoring list. Dwight Howard had 15 points and Steve Nash scored 16 for the Lakers.
Following the loss, the Lakers revealed Bryant was suffering from a bone spur on his left foot. He left the arena using one crutch, but appeared to be walking without pain after his 36? minutes on court.
"Inflamed on me. I'll be all right," Bryant said.
The Lakers are eighth in the Western Conference, a half-game ahead of Utah for the final playoff spot. Milwaukee is eighth in the Eastern Conference, seven games ahead of Philadelphia for the final spot.
Elsewhere, DeMarcus Cousins scored 17 consecutive points in the first half and finished with 34 in the Sacramento Kings' 117-103 victory over the Phoenix Suns.
In Dallas, Paul George had 24 points and eight rebounds and the Indiana Pacers broke open a close game in the third quarter to beat the Dallas Mavericks 103-78 and give the Pacers a half-game lead for the second-best record in the Eastern Conference.
