Bryant leads Lakers past WarriorsBasketball Betting Lines02/19/2009 - 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.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
