L.A. Lakers 101, Dallas 110
DALLAS (AP) -Now that Lamar Odom is hurt, Kobe Bryant is going to need some help - a lot more than he got Wednesday night.
In their first game without Odom since he emerged as a perfect complement to Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers overcame a rough start to make a late run at the Dallas Mavericks, but it wasn't enough to avoid a 110-101 loss.
"It was a challenge for us," Bryant said. "We missed him big-time tonight."
Howard fell one point shy of the career high he matched two games ago. He scored 12 points in the first quarter and had five more during the game-sealing run in the fourth quarter. Jason Terry had 26 points and nine assists 26 points and Devin Harris scored 14 points.
The Dallas Mavericks were coming off a 22-point loss in Utah, their third defeat in five games since winning 12 straight.
They got back to the strong start that powered their streak, hitting nine of their first 11 shots.
"We came out tonight very focused," Terry said. "They played last night, so we felt if we could extend them to the fourth quarter and put together some runs that we could put them away."
Nowitzki was 5-for-5 in the first quarter and made his first shot in the second quarter, too. Yet he didn't make another field goal until the fourth quarter. He finished 8-of-14.
Notes: Bennett Salvatore worked his first Mavs game this season. He was the official at the center of the controversies surrounding Dallas' overtime loss to Miami in Game 5 of the finals last season. ... Bryant's five first-half points came on 25 touches, according to Dallas statisticians. He scored 17 points on 18 third-quarter touches. ... The Mavericks had 10 assists in the first quarter after only eight the previous game. ... The Mavs lost backup point guard Anthony Johnson to a sprained right ankle early in the second quarter. He didn't return. An MRI was scheduled for Thursday.
