RICK KAMLA'S FANTASY TAKE
Even with Kwame Brown back in action and big, bad Ben Wallace as his matchup, Andrew Bynum posted 12 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks. His fantasy value could be here to stay.
QUOTE OF THE NIGHT
"When we have a guy that goes off scoring like that, it causes our other guys to spectate a little bit. We weren't able to really get anyone else to pitch in."
-- Chicago coach Scott Skiles, who got a career-high 30 points from Andres Nocioni on Sunday. Only one other player joined him in double figures and the Bulls lost 82-72 to the Lakers.

    GIVE IT TIME
    When Kobe Bryant racked up 31 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists on Friday, many thought that it meant Kobe was back among the league's elite to stay. It's not that easy. Still working himself into shape after offseason knee surgery and operating on one day of rest instead of the four he had against the Raptors, Bryant did not repeat that performance. He shot 5-of-14 from the field for 18 points and added four rebounds and four assists on Sunday. He occasionally looked tired, but still played 40 minutes in a win over the visiting Bulls.
    FAMILIAR FOE, FAMILIAR RESULT
    Ron Artest was supposed to bring a defensive intensity to Sacramento and did just that to get to the 2006 Playoffs. But once there, the 'D' stopped as the Spurs ousted the Kings from the first round in six games by scoring nearly 107 points per contest. San Antonio had been averaging just 98 per game this season, but got it going again on Sunday, thanks mostly to Tim Duncan. He shot 13-of-17 for a season-high 35 points and grabbed half of his 14 rebounds on the offensive glass as the Spurs poured in 108 points in a road win over the Kings.
    ROOKIE WATCH
    Jordan Farmar, the Lakers' first-year point guard, amassed three points, two rebounds, an assist and a block in 10 minutes of action. He rolled his ankle making a dribble move just before halftime and did not return, but the Lakers held off Chicago anyway.
    SIXTH MAN OF THE NIGHT
    Corliss Williamson is used to this role. WIth the Pistons in 2001-02, "Big Nasty" took home the Sixth Man Award. Now in his second stint with the Kings, Williamson is again contributing off the bench. He shot 5-of-9 for 12 points and grabbed five boards in Sacramento's home loss.
