Bryant leads Lakers past Warriors

Basketball Betting Lines

02/19/2009 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kobe Bryant scored 30 points and dished out nine assists as the Los Angeles Lakers rallied to beat Golden State, 129-121, winning for the ninth time in 10 games.

Pau Gasol tallied 24 points and 13 rebounds for the Lakers, who moved to an NBA-best 44-10 record. Lamar Odom ended with 22 points and seven boards for Los Angeles, which beat Golden State for a fourth straight time.

Trevor Ariza scored 17, Josh Powell 16 and Derek Fisher 12 for the Lakers, who trailed most of the game before taking command late in the final quarter.

Bryant, coming off a lackluster 10-point performance in a home win over the Hawks on Tuesday, shot 9-of-22 from the field and missed two of his 12 foul shots. He also had two scintillating blocks.

Stephen Jackson totaled 24 points, six boards and nine assists for the Warriors, who had a three-game win streak broken. Corey Maggette had 24 points off the bench before fouling out, and Jamal Crawford scored 23. Anthony Randolph played a spirited game with 14 points and 12 assists in defeat.

Rony Turiaf's bucket expanded Golden State's lead to 109-105 with under five minutes remaining, but back-to-back three-pointers by Ariza started a game- changing 17-3 spurt. Odom's short shot gave LA the lead at 113-111, and his three-point play moved the margin to 116-112 with 2:47 left.

Bryant spun with the ball near the lane, stepped back and nailed a jumper from the right side for a 122-112 margin with 1:10 left to cap the spurt and in all intensive purposed, the Laker victory.

Golden State led 34-30 after the opening quarter and the Warriors were up 68-62 at the half. The hosts increased that lead to 86-76 midway through the third, but the Lakers rallied to tie later in the quarter before trailing 94-92 moving to the fourth.

Game Notes

Earlier Wednesday, the Lakers traded oft-injured center Chris Mihm to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for a conditional second round pick in the 2013 draft...Golden State shot 51.6 percent from the floor...Monta Ellis had 15 points and Turiaf 13 for the Warriors...Warriors head coach Don Nelson is one win away from recording his 1,300th victory as an NBA head coach. He will become only the second coach to reach this mark, trailing only Lenny Wilkins (1,332 wins), the all-time winningest head coach in NBA history.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
