Friday in the NBA

After a terrible first half where the Lakers commited 13 turnovers and were down by as much as 21, it looked like the Rockets were going to run away with it. Not if Kobe Bryant had anything to say. Bryant scored a season high 53 points and was just 2 assists shy of a triple double in a 112-101 double OT victory over Yao and the rockets. More…

The Raptors however put up a balanced attack with 6 players in double figures led by TJ Ford who had 17 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists. More…
