Lakers-Bucks Preview

A broken finger doesn't seem to be much of a hindrance for Kobe Bryant. Facing the Milwaukee Bucks hasn't really been a challenge for the Los Angeles Lakers star, either.

Coming off a season-high scoring effort, Bryant looks to continue his success against the Bucks on Wednesday night when the Western Conference-leading Lakers visit the Bradley Center.

Playing with a splint on the broken right index finger he suffered Friday against Minnesota, Bryant scored a season-high 42 points in Los Angeles' 96-87 win at Chicago on Tuesday. The victory was the 12th in 13 games for the Lakers (19-4), who bounced back after opening their five-game road swing with a 102-94 loss at Utah on Saturday.

"If I ask him how his finger is doing he is going to strangle me,'' Lakers forward Ron Artest said after Bryant recorded at least 40 points for the fifth time this season. "When he is hurt you are not allowed to ask him how he is doing or you're not allowed to ask are you OK. He gets very mad. He's a solider.''

Plagued by both the injured finger and a stomach ailment, Bryant was held to a season-low 16 points while shooting 7 of 24 shooting against the Jazz. It didn't take long for him to regroup, going 15 of 26 from the field against the Bulls and scoring 20 points in the first quarter as the Lakers improved to 4-2 on the road.

"This is the most challenging one,'' Bryant said of his current injury. "I've played with sore ankles, broken knuckles and things like that. It's tough, it affects my follow through.''

Bryant is averaging 28.4 points on the season and 29.7 in his last nine games against the Bucks. He had 30 and eight rebounds in the Lakers' 104-98 road win April 1 - the teams' most recent meeting and the Lakers' third straight win in the series.

Milwaukee, though, had won the previous two times it hosted Los Angeles at the Bradley Center.

While Bryant's star status is well established, the Bucks (11-11) have their own budding star thriving despite injury in rookie point guard Brandon Jennings.

Wearing a brace after hyperextending his knee, the 10th overall pick in the June draft had 18 points and 11 assists in Milwaukee's 108-101 double-overtime win over Portland on Saturday.

"It was important for us to get back to .500, so it was a big win for us," Jennings told the Bucks' official Web site.

The team leader in points (21.1 ppg) and assists (6.0), Jennings is a big reason Milwaukee is holding its own despite injuries to some key players.

Andrew Bogut had a season-high 27 points and Luke Ridnour added 20 off the bench as the Bucks won their second straight game to improve to 9-3 at the Bradley Center. The 7-foot Bogut is averaging 21.3 points and 10.3 boards in his last three games.

Milwaukee star Michael Redd had 11 points in 29 minutes Saturday - his first game after missing seven straight with a knee injury. Redd, who's played in just six games this season, is averaging 17.3 points versus Los Angeles in his career.

Kobe adds chapter to legacy, nails OT buzzer-beater

By Rick Braun, for NBA.com

MILWAUKEE (NBA.com exclusive) -- Kobe Bryant with the ball in his hands and a chance to win the game is dangerous. Bryant getting two such chances is as good as a sure thing.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar capped a 39-point night with a turnaround 15-footer from left of the free throw line at the overtime buzzer Wednesday night, lifting his team to a 107-106 victory over a game Milwaukee Bucks squad.

Bryant missed a similar shot at the regulation buzzer, allowing the Bucks to reach overtime with the game tied at 95.

He was only half-joking when he said making the overtime shot was a given.

"Especially because I missed the first one," said Bryant, who scored 42 the night before and was playing his third game with a broken index finger on his right hand. "I had a really good look at that first one, and I wanted to go right back to that same spot and get the same look."

He did exactly that as the Lakers elected to take the ball fullcourt after a timeout with 5.4 seconds left that followed a Michael Redd miss.

The Bucks' Charlie Bell hounded Bryant the entire distance, but Milwaukee did not send a double-team to get the ball out of Bryant's hands.

"I think [Lakers coach] Phil [Jackson] caught them off guard by having us take the ball fullcourt," Bryant said. "I think that threw them for a loop. They probably were expecting us, with 5 seconds, to take the ball at halfcourt, and then they could kind of smother me. But coming from that distance, it's tough."

Bryant's shot spoiled big efforts from Redd, who scored a season-best 25 as he tries to work his way back from left knee troubles, and Ersan Ilyasova, who had a career-high 24 points. But Ilyasova missed a pair of free throws with 58.6 seconds in overtime that would have given the Bucks a six-point lead.

After Luke Ridnour's pull-up jumper gave Milwaukee a 106-100 lead with 1:25 left in overtime, Bryant hit a jumper in the lane with 1:18 left.

After Ilyasova's two missed free throws, Bryant converted a huge 3-point play 10 seconds later that had the Bucks and the crowd of 16,309 howling. Bryant drove the line but ran into center Andrew Bogut. As the whistle blew, Bryant spun and made a short shot.

Referees Joe Forte and Mark Davis conferred, and Davis emphatically signaled a blocking foul.

"That was a huge play ... the charge or block call," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said, trying his best to be diplomatic. "That's a huge play, and if we get that stop right there we're probably in good position.

"It goes against us and then you know that you're probably going right down to the wire. But, again, we had two free throws. We have to knock those down, and then we're probably OK."

Bryant's view was probably a bit different than the Bucks' view.

"I tried to get Bogut leaning and spin back in the lane and draw some contact," Bryant said. "I did, and the shot fell."

After Bryant's 3-point play with 48.6 seconds left, the Bucks came up with a huge offensive rebound when Bell tipped Ridnour's miss out to Bogut near halfcourt, and the Bucks took a timeout with 27.6 seconds left.

With the shot clock running down, Redd missed a runner from the right side of the lane, and the Lakers had one last chance for Bryant.

When his shot swished through without touching iron, the Lakers won their second game in as many nights and their 13th in 14 games to improve to 20-4. The Bucks fell to 11-12.

Pau Gasol had a monster night for the Lakers with season highs of 26 points and 22 rebounds. Ron Artest was the only other Laker in double figures with 10, including a big 3-pointer in overtime.

Bogut added had 16 points and 12 rebounds for Milwaukee but missed a free throw with 20.7 seconds left in regulation that would have completed a 3-point play and given the Bucks a 96-95 lead.

That would have meant Bryant's miss at the end of regulation would have given the Bucks a victory. Instead, it went to overtime and Bryant was the hero again. That allowed Jackson to riff comedic after the game.

"I told him, 'Why did you keep us waiting?' through the whole timeout," Jackson said. " 'You had the same situation in regulation. I mean, really. You wasted a half-hour of our lives.' I don't understand that boy sometimes."

Bryant's teammates have seen such heroics enough that they're no longer surprised.

"He's done it for a very long time and he's done it a couple times this year already," guard Derek Fisher said.
