The Lakers needed exactly zero points from Kobe Bryant to go ahead 44-39.
When he finally scored a couple of buckets, they went up 48-39 before Dirk Nowitzki scored.
After last night, when Lamar Odom was an afterthought in Memphis during Bryant's return from an ankle injury, he's having a more active role against the Mavericks.
Fear the moment Bryant and Odom start rolling simultaneously.
