Lakers Come From Behind, Go 6-0

The Los Angeles Lakers did what Barack Obama did exactly a week ago: defeat Mavericks. In the Lakers' case, that would be the Dallas Mavericks. LA defeated Dallas 106-99 after trailing for a majority of the game. Dallas scored 35 points in the first quarter, 60 in the entire first half, but just 39 in the second half. Jason Kidd had a triple-double with 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Kobe Bryant scored 27 points, and the Lakers used a 30-9 run during the third and fourth quarters to take the lead. Pau Gasol contributed with 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Andrew Bynum had 11 points and 10 re's. Trevor Ariza scored 13 points, while Lamar Odom finished with 12. The Lakers go to New Orleans tomorrow to play the Hornets.
