 LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Lakers leaned on Kobe Bryant and their reserves, something Los Angeles may have to do for several weeks after losing starting center Kwame Brown to a sprained ankle.
Bryant finished with 35 points, eight rebounds and six assists, and Los Angeles reserves Sasha Vujacic, Vladimir Radmanovic and Maurice Evans made some clutch 3-pointers down the stretch to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 104-94 on Sunday night.
"Ankle injuries are just the worst," said Bryant, who speaks from experience. "They take the longest to heal — and when they do, it takes a couple of weeks just to get your ankle underneath you again and cut the way you would normally cut.
