Lakers 123, Jazz 109
LOS ANGELES – After the 34 oh-so-pretty assists were in the books and the Utah Jazz were done, the Lakers had their second consecutive victory over a team that was supposed to be a lot better than they could possibly be. The Lakers have gone 10-2 since starting the season 9-8. Things just keep…

Brown, Walton doubtful
By CURTIS ZUPKE The Orange County Register EL SEGUNDO - The Lakers didn’t miss Kwame Brown and Luke Walton too much, judging from their most recent performance. So perhaps they won’t miss them for their next big matchup. Brown and Walton likely won’t play when the Lakers host Utah…

Lakers 95, Knicks 90
NEW YORK – It wasn’t a glamorous finish to a game the Lakers led by 25 points over the hapless Knicks, but Kobe Bryant did bring the victory home Sunday. Bryant scored 39 points to go with eight assists and 11 rebounds. And Bryant’s rim-hugging jumper with 57.6 seconds left gave the Lakers a…

Merry Christmas!
