Lakers handle 76ers

Kobe Bryant scored 35 points on Sunday to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 104-94 win over the Philadelphia 76ers at the Staples Center.

The bad news continued, however. Center Kwame Brown left the game in the third quarter with a severely sprained left ankle. X-Rays were termed “inconclusive” and he will undergo further tests on Monday.

Losing Brown is a further blow to Los Angeles’ frontcourt. Forward Lamar Odom has missed the last 10 games with a sprained right knee and could be out as much as another six weeks.

Bryant had an efficient night, making 15 of 22 shots from the floor. Smoosh Parker added 12 points and Luke Walton contributed 11.

The Road Trip is Over, But There’s No Time to Rest

The Lakers finished their 6-game, 12-day road trip with a 3-3 record, and needless to say, they’re happy to be returning home, where they’ll play three of their next four games at the Staples Center, where they have a 13-4 record so far this season.  They even get a bit of a break by playing a struggling 76ers team tonight.

However, the schedule remains demanding after this game, as their next three opponents are Sacramento on the road, Denver and then Dallas.  The Lakers need to make hay against teams in the Western Conference who could/should be in the playoffs, as their final seeding could come down to several tie-breakers.

You can ring in the New Year with Lakers tickets to any of these games, and there’s no better place to find the ones you want than StubHub.com.
