Detroit-
Kobe Bryant had an impressive 39 points and 10 rebounds are not enough for the Lakers to beat the Pistons. Tayshaun Prince hit a 3-pointer with 4.4 seconds left to beat the Los Angeles Lakers Thursday night. This is the first of eight more games on the road for the Lakers. Without Andrew Bynum will the Lakers lose their momentum and drive to keep their place in the playoff race? In the meantime, Kobe continues to shine under pressure.
Detroit led by as much as 17 points in the first half before Kobe scored 10 straight points to put the Lakers back in the game and take the lead until the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Tayshaun Price had 22 points while All-Star reserves Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton scored 16 and 14 points. The Pistons played a mediocre game against an injured Laker team. Without Andrew Bynum, Luke Walton, Trevor Ariza, and Chris Mihm Kobe did not get much help from the remaining players. Kobe Bryant 11 turnovers tonight against the Pistons were the most by any player in a single season definitely had an impact on the Lakers loss today.
