Kobe Doin' Work

With 3.2 seconds left and down by 2, Kobe Bryant made another classic, highlight reel shot to win a game at the Staples Center over Dwyane Wade and the Heat. The Lakers looked sluggish most of the night, but the action picked up in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter where the teams exchanged lead changes. We saw a number of big shots from Wade, Derek Fisher and the dagger from Kobe. Kobe led the Lakers with 33 points and Wade led the Heat with 26 points, 7 boards and 9 dimes. Kobe refused to take any credit for that last second heave, "It was the luckiest shot I've ever taken, by far," he said. "It felt good, [but] I just couldn't believe this ball might go in on this shot." The win gives the Lakers the best record in the NBA at 15-3 and drops the Heat to 10-9.
