NBA
Regular Season Round 71: Phoenix Suns - LA Lakers 95-99
Date: January 5, 2011
The Lakers weren't great, just good enough. The Suns weren't awful. They just came up short, quite literally. Kobe Bryant scored 24 points and four other Los Angeles players reached double figures as the Lakers held off Phoenix 99-95 on Wednesday night. ``Oh,' Lakers coach Phil Jackson said sarcastically, ``we're a powerhouse now.' Jared Dudley led the Suns with 21 points, including three of their 11 3-pointers, but the much bigger Lakers dominated the boards 47-31, including 14-5 on the offensive end. Andrew Bynum scored 14 for Los Angeles, Shannon Brown had 13, Lamar Odom 12 and Ron Artest 11, including a wide-open 3 with 1:30 to play after Phoenix had cut the lead to one. ``He has made big shots before when the money is on the line, big money is on the line,' Bryant said of Artest. ``I have all the faith in the world in him.' Artest, who got into an intense argument with Jackson in practice this week, said he can do more but sacrifices for the needs of the team. ``I still feel like a top 10 player in the NBA, but who cares?' Artest said. ``It depends on how we feel as a team. I work out a lot and I can take anybody in the post to the hole, get in rhythm and hit big buckets but that don't really matter. We have a great team and what matters is that we move together. There will be chances to do what you have to do but there is no need to force it. `` Pau Gasol scored only six points but grabbed nine rebounds for Los Angeles. Steve Nash had 11 points and 10 assists for Phoenix. Vince Carter scored 14 but his extra-long 3-point attempt was blocked by Gasol in the final minute. *Courtesy of www.comcast.com
