Lakers hold off Nuggets
Basketball Betting Lines
02/04/2012 -
Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andrew Bynum had 22 points, 10 rebounds and
three blocks, helping the Los Angeles Lakers hold off the Denver Nuggets,
93-89.
Kobe Bryant added 20 points and nine assists for the Lakers, who have won
three in a row. Bryant shot just 7-of-23 from the floor, including a 1-of-4
performance from beyond the arc.
Pau Gasol donated 13 points and 17 boards for Los Angeles, which improved to
3-7 on the road this season. Andrew Goudelock also had 13 points.
Al Harrington ended with 24 points and eight rebounds for the Nuggets, who
have lost three of four. Andre Miller and Ty Lawson chipped in with 16 and 14
points, respectively.
To make matters worse, Denver lost starting center Timofey Mozgov to a
sprained left ankle. With about 10 minutes to go in the third quarter,
Mozgov came down awkwardly on his left ankle after making a layup.
He was not able to put pressure on his left foot, but X-rays came back
negative.
Bryant's three-pointer with 7:23 to play gave the Lakers an 80-72 lead.
But Denver responded with an 11-4 run to make things interesting down the
stretch. Harrington made a pair of three-pointers around Bynum's slam to cut
the gap to 84-83 with 4:23 left.
Metta World Peace made a much-needed trey from the corner to give the Lakers
an 87-83 margin.
Still ahead by four moments later, Bryant turned the ball over. Lawson failed
to make a three-pointer at the other end.
Denver was still alive after Los Angeles missed three shots. Nene's layup cut
the gap to 89-87 with 1:40 to go.
Derek Fisher came up with a big shot at the other end, making a 21-foot shot
from the corner.
Lawson's steal of Gasol led to Nene's slam with 28.6 seconds remaining, making
it 91-89.
At the other end, Bryant found Bynum open under the hoop. But instead of going
up strong, Bynum tried for a layup. Nene was able to block the shot. Upon
review, it was determined the ball went out off Los Angeles.
Harrington's three-pointer bounced off the rim in the final second. Matt
Barnes made two free throws with 0.2 seconds left to seal the win for the
Lakers.
Los Angeles led by as many as 11 in the first half and took a 44-41 lead into
the locker room.
Denver started the second half on an 8-2 surge to take the lead. But the
Lakers stormed right back and led for the remainder of the third period. It
was a 72-68 game heading to the fourth.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
