 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kobe Bryant scored 12 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter and the Los Angeles Lakers pulled away to beat the Denver Nuggets 112-92 on Sunday night.
The game was a rematch of the season-opener four days earlier in Denver, which the Lakers won 99-97 on Bryant's 20-foot jumper with 0.6 seconds remaining in overtime. Bryant scored 33 points in that game and 39 in a 122-112 loss to Phoenix the following night.
Lamar Odom added 20 and eight rebounds for the Lakers on his 26th birthday. Chris Mihm had 20 points and 13 rebounds and Bryant also had eight rebounds and five assists.
