Lakers at Raptors - 24/2 - HD Highlights
All video credits to JD2K.

Needing a win, the Los Angeles Lakers went to the best finisher in the game.

Only this time, he didn't.

Trailing the Toronto Raptors by one with 1.2 seconds remaining, the Lakers put the ball in the hands of Kobe Bryant who was one assist shy of a triple-double to go with a career-high 16 rebounds and 27 points.

Bobbling the inbound pass from Luke Walton, Bryant still had time to measure up a good shot that bounced up and off of the rim as time expired, giving the Raptors the 106-105 victory.

"It just rimmed out." Bryant said of the final shot. It happens. I just wanted to get a good look. I just wanted to rise up, put enough arc on the ball. It felt pretty good, just came up a little bit short."

In a match up with the defending champions, the Raptors impressed as they kept the game close and overcame 22 points and nine rebounds from Pau Gasol, 21 points and nine rebounds from Andrew Bynum and a 17-point effort from reserve Jordan Farmar.

They did so by having five of their own players reach double figures. Led by Andrea Bargnani's 22 points in his first game back from sitting out with a sore lower back, Chris Bosh chipped in 18 points and 13 rebounds, Marco Belinelli added 15 off of the bench and rookie DeMar DeRozan scored 10.

"Huge win, not only because it is against the Lakers, but we are continuing to play well at home." Bosh said.

The victory was the Raptors ninth home win in their last 10 tries.

  • Clearly a foul on Turkoglu according to the replay around 4:45, dunno why people are saying it was controversial. It wasn't like it was one of those tic-tac fouls.

  • damn! so close.

  • 16 rebounds wow, good game by kobe, 2 bad his finger is crappy so he cant shoot like he used to, but great player like him still finds a way to play good
