Magic overcome Kobe's season-high 41 points to drop Lakers

The Los Angeles star scored a season-high 41 points, but Magic center Dwight Howard made eight of 11 free throws in the fourth quarter, and Jameer Nelson had 27 points to lead Orlando to a 106-103 victory over the Lakers on Saturday night.

Sasha Vujacic had the ball off Bryant’s pass in the left corner — Orlando would not leave Fisher in the right corner — with the Lakers trailing by one point. But Vujacic missed the open 3-point shot — capping an 0-for-6 shooting night — and Dwight Howard rebounded with 3.5 seconds left. Howard hit two free throws, and Bryant’s last-gasp heave from 29 feet out was wide left before the buzzer.

Orlando left the Euro three point shooter open?

At the end of the game?

How could this be?

Having a good chuckle. tee hee. I wonder if Vujawimp was crying after this game too. He has proved that he just isn't all that clutch. This is the second game in a row that Kobe tried to play hero with the last shot but ended up the goat. I even watched this game because I had a feeling they were going to lose.

I like the Magic. They are kind of my home team and I have always thought they had a class organization and there really aren't any players on the Magic I don't like. I love Howard. He is a good kid. So they are kind of my third favorite team. My second favorite team is any team playing the Lakers on a given night.

Vujua wimp!

Was he litterally crying or just whining?

Cuz if he was actually crying, I might have to start giving Jackzen some sympathy, cuz I don't know if I could put up with that bunch of babies he's got.

I'm surprised at how well Jameer Nelson has turned out. Who is coaching the Magic these days?

embarrassing question, I know.

Stan Van Gundy. The Magic are definitely being overlooked this year. They're a great team and they played well the couple of games when Dwight was out. I'm hoping Cleveland has to go through them and Detroit in the playoffs.

Even more embarrassing after you tell me.

Van Gundy is a very good coach.
