Kobe made the only shot that matters, cuz. The go-ahead for the win.

Lakers showing heart and toughness. Haven't played our best ball and we are still beating teams. Mark of a champion.

Damn, very close game. If Kobe doesn't make that ridiculous 3, we probably lose.

However, you still get 1 full win no matter how close it was.

Wow, I can't believe they pulled this one out. Wow.

They'd better be better prepared tomorrow, because that kind of effort won't get it done against the Spurs.

But a win is still a win and 31-6 is still 31-6!

Weeeeeeeee.

pretty shaky offensive night from him as well the team... ariza shot well but we HAVE to improve our defense before we criticize anything from this game... this game should have been a blowout if we played halfass D... going to san antonio will be L if we show up like we did today... but despite a bad night, Kobe finds a way to get inside a booth, change clothers and come out with a win

I'm sorry, but I don't expect us to beat the Spurs tomorrow. This game proved that we have a REAL issue with our depth right now. I honestly believe that had Sahsa been playing Wafer wouldn't have gone off on us. Sure, he might have fouled out, but he'd get into Wafer's head.

The main reason the Lakers will win these close games is due to having a closer. Houston has NOBODY to turn to at the end of games. Nobody.

Kobe has spent 2005 to the present having to play with "guys out." LOL

Correction, Lakers do it again. I cringed when he shot the 3, but it went in so I had to stfu

Good win tonight on the road, Rockets played well.
