76ers-Lakers Preview

The Los Angeles Lakers made a minor lineup adjustment which paid huge dividends to help end their recent skid, while the Philadelphia 76ers have been forced to play without one of their top players.

Los Angeles looks for its second win against Philadelphia in 14 days when the Lakers host the 76ers on Friday night.

The Lakers (22-10) ended a three-game losing streak Wednesday with a 103-88 win against New Orleans, using Lamar Odom off the bench for the first time this season.

Odom, who was replaced in the starting lineup by Andrew Bynum, responded with a team-high 24 points. It was the most by a Lakers player coming off the bench since Tierre Brown had 27 in Feb. 7, 2005.

Bynum also took advantage of the increased minutes, scoring 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting.

"Some people could have took that personally," Odom said. "It didn't matter to me, honestly."

The dominating victory got the Lakers back on track after losing three straight by an average of 16.7 points.

"We played much better. We executed much better. Our defense did an excellent job," Bryant said. "(Bynum) makes a big difference plugging up the middle, rebounding. He's moving better. ... He seems to be more stable, more active."

Bynum missed 24 games after undergoing knee surgery in late October.

Odom scored a season-high 28 points and played 42 minutes in a 93-81 victory over the 76ers on Dec. 17. The Lakers outscored Philadelphia 35-19 in the fourth quarter, despite Kobe Bryant being held to a season-low nine points on 3-for-11 shooting.

Andre Iguodala scored 18 for Philadelphia, but he's missed the last two games with recurring tendinitis in his right Achilles'. He sat out five games in November with the same injury.

Evan Turner, who has struggled since Philadelphia (13-19) made him the No. 2 pick in June's draft, stepped up in Iguodala's absence Wednesday and scored a career-high 23 points in a 123-110 victory in Phoenix.

Turner is averaging only 6.8 points in 24.1 minutes, prompting coach Doug Collins to sit down with his young player and discuss his play.

"The team talked to me earlier and said I just needed to step up and I was just looking for my own shot a little bit," said the former Ohio State standout.

Jrue Holiday had his third straight 20-point performance, scoring 25 for Philadelphia, which is 3-3 on its season-high eight-game road trip. Andres Nocioni added 22 points and 12 rebounds.

"That was about as complete a win as we've had all season long," Collins said.

Philadelphia expects guard Lou Williams to return to the lineup after missing the last two for the birth of his daughter. Williams is fourth on the team with 11.8 points per game, one of five players averaging in double figures.

Los Angeles has won six of seven against the 76ers, but Bryant - a Philadelphia native - has scored fewer than 20 in three of the last four.

Kobe's late points lead Lakers past 76ers 102-98

LOS ANGELES (AP) Kobe Bryant and Jrue Holiday both had multiple chances to take over the final moments of the last NBA game of 2010.

The champion came through, and the young challenger will have to wait until next year to respond.

Bryant scored 33 points and hit a tiebreaking jumper with 1:15 to play, and the Los Angeles Lakers bounced back from consecutive home losses with a 102-98 victory over the pesky Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night.

Pau Gasol had 20 points and eight rebounds for the Lakers, and Lamar Odom scored 18 points off the bench as the defending champions barely hung on against the up-and-coming Sixers, whose resilient effort left coach Doug Collins thrilled.

Los Angeles never trailed for the sixth time this season, but also couldn't shake the young Sixers until Philadelphia missed five shots in the final minute.

"Obviously, there's games that we're going to close out better," Gasol said. "But if you finish out the year with a win, you should be satisfied."

Holiday had 19 points and 11 assists and Lou Williams scored 18 points for the Sixers, whose eight-game road trip concludes Monday in New Orleans. The Sixers won at Denver and Phoenix over the past five days, but repeatedly fell just short of taking a late lead in their fourth straight loss to the Lakers.

While Lakers coach Phil Jackson lamented excessive mistakes and shaky late-game poise from his club, Collins headed into 2011 charged up about the Sixers' potential.

"I was really proud of our guys," Collins said. "They hung in and battled, and I thought we had four clean looks there (in the final minute). I told our guys they should be looking forward to the new year, because we have a lot of things to be thankful for. Our guys are really maturing from where we started to where we are now."

After Bryant missed a jumper with 33 seconds left, Holiday and Lou Williams took consecutive 3-pointers in the waning seconds. When Williams' shot missed with 4 seconds to play, the Lakers finally exhaled.

"My shot, I rushed a little bit, but we had two good looks, two chances to win," said Holiday, a Los Angeles native who played at UCLA. "Me being home, I'm excited, jumping around like a little kid. We made them shoot tough shots, and we had a chance."

The Sixers refused to wrap up 2010 quietly despite playing their third straight game without Andre Iguodala, who won't return from tendinitis for several more games.

Philadelphia cut the Lakers' lead to one point midway through the fourth quarter with a 12-2 run led by Elton Brand and Thaddeus Young, who scored 14 points. Holiday's 3-pointer in front of the Lakers' bench again cut the lead to 96-95 with 2:45 left.

After Bryant hit a jumper, Young's three-point play with 1:33 left on a fast break created by Bryant's turnover tied it at 98. Bryant hit another mid-range jumper, and Philadelphia missed four shots over its next two possessions before Bryant hit two clinching free throws with 1.9 seconds to play.

"Classic Kobe," Williams said. "He didn't have 40, so I think that's a good night for us, especially having guys who aren't familiar with guarding him."

Despite the late dramatics, the Lakers won their second straight after three straight blowout losses to head into a home-friendly January schedule with a bit of momentum. Six days after barely putting up a fight in the Miami Heat's Christmas win at Staples Center, the Lakers built on Wednesday's win at New Orleans.

After losing their last two home games by at least 16 points apiece for just the third time in franchise history, the Lakers avoided their first three-game home losing streak since March 2008.

"We controlled the game in the first three quarters, but then they started playing better," Gasol said. "We did enough to hang on, but we can improve."

Andrew Bynum had eight points and 15 rebounds in his first start of the season at Staples Center, following up his return to the starting lineup at New Orleans. Odom, who willingly went back to the bench when Jackson shook up his struggling lineup, got a warm ovation when he checked in as a reserve.

NOTES: Los Angeles hasn't lost three straight home games by double digits since February 1993. ... Jackson assisted Collins during their days with the Chicago Bulls. Jackson eventually replaced Collins and led the Bulls to six titles. ... Fans near courtside included Tom Petty, baseball agent Scott Boras, George Lopez and actresses Heather Locklear and Regina King.

Sixers-Lakers notebook

By Brian Chu, for NBA.com
Posted Saturday January 1, 2011 2:32AM

THE FACTS: Not much changed in the final day of the year as Kobe Bryant once again carried the Lakers down the stretch.

Bryant answered the Sixers shot for shot, scoring 10 of his team's final 14 points, as the Lakers pulled out a 102-98 victory Friday at Staples Center.

The Lakers, who have now won back-to-back games after dropping three straight, were led by Bryant's game-high 33 points on 13-for-24 shooting. Pau Gasol chipped in with 20 points on 9-for-12 from the field and Lamar Odom added 18.

Five Sixers finished in double figures with Jrue Holiday tallying a double-double, 19 points and a game-high 11 assists. Off the bench, Lou Williams finished with 18 and Thaddeus Young had 14.

Los Angeles (23-10) nearly blew a double-digit lead as they led by as many as 14 points in the game and held an 11-point advantage in the fourth quarter. The Lakers let the Sixers (13-20) scramble back into the game, but showed flashes of defense when it counted. Gasol had a key block on Young in the game's final minute and Los Angeles, which led 100-98, saw Holiday and Williams miss their 3-pointers in the game's final 10 seconds.

QUOTABLE "I thought we had (two) clean looks there...I didn't call a timeout because I felt we had the ball and we could just push it and they couldn't get a timeout to maybe make it tough for us to get the ball in."

- Sixers coach Doug Collins on the final minute of play.

THE STAT: 50: The number of points the Lakers scored in the paint. The Sixers had 34.

TURNING POINT: With his team down by three, 98-95, Young converted a key 3-point play to tie the game, but on the next possession with Turner draped all over him, Bryant rose up and sank a 12-foot fadeaway with 1:15 left in the game. The Sixers would get no closer.

QUOTABLE II: "Classic Kobe. He didn't have 40. So I think that's a good night for us especially with guys who are not familiar with guarding him like Jodie Meeks and Evan Turner."

-- Williams told NBA.com on Bryant again taking over in crunch time.

HOT: Holiday continues his superb play. With 19 points and 11 assists, Holiday now has seven double-doubles this season to just two all of last season. In his last four games, Holiday is averaging 22.3 points on 58.3 percent shooting. He is also averaging eight assists during that span.

NOT: Lakers guard Derek Fisher continues to struggle and it appears as if his poor shooting is getting to him. After missing his sixth straight shot, a wide-open 16 footer, he dipped his head and shouted in frustration. Fisher missed all seven of his shots and finished with one point and three fouls. In his last six games, Fisher is averaging 4.5 points on 29.4 percent shooting.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: It was one of those nights for Bryant. He was an efficient 13-for-24 from the field en route to a game-high 33 points. This marks Bryant's 11th game of 30 points or more this season. He didn't do much in other statistical categories, but he did have two steals.

QUOTABLE III: "We're growing up. I think we're playing really good basketball and I told our guys they should be looking forward to the New Year because we have a lot of good things to be thankful for."

-- Collins, whose team started the season 3-10 and is now 10-10.

ROOKIE WATCH: With Andre Iguodala missing his third straight game with tendinitis in his right Achilles, Turner has gotten more playing time and has made the most of it. Against the Suns Wednesday, he posted a career-high 23 points on 9-for-12 shooting, and then versus the Lakers he tallied 12 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals. This is only the third time that Turner has posted double-digits in back-to-back games this season.

NOTABLE: Lakers center Andrew Bynum played a season-high 31:23. He scored eight points and snagged a game-high 15 rebounds, which was also a season high. "I feel pretty good," said Bynum, who has now played in back-to-back, 30-plus minutes for the first time this season. "I don't have any pain. Everything went well." Lakers coach Phil Jackson liked what he saw out of his frontcourt players. "The rotation of (Gasol, Odom, and Bynum) is good," Jackson said. "If those guy's minutes are at 32, 33 minutes that will be terrific for everybody." Against the Sixers, none of the Laker bigs played more than 34 minutes.

UP NEXT: For the Lakers, Sunday vs. Memphis, Tuesday vs. Detroit, Wednesday @ Phoenix. For the Sixers, Monday @ Phoenix, Wednesday vs. Washington, Friday vs. Chicago.
