Lakers vs. Toronto Raptors / W 109-107

Mar 9: Thanks to another winning-shot by Kobe Bryant, the Lakers snapped their first 3-game losing streak in almost 3 years with a 109-107 win over the Raptors.

Chris Bosh's 3-pointer with 9.5 seconds left tied it at 107. But Kobe, who made 14 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter, received the ball on the wing, took it to the baseline and shot another of those high-difficult shots he usually takes to give the Lakers the lead with 1.9 seconds left. The Raptors didn't have any more timeouts and barely attempted a bad long distance shot. Despite making his sixth game-winning shot of the season, at the end Kobe wasn't happy at all with the team's defensive effort.

Andrew Bynum added 22 points and Pau Gasol 17 points and 9 rebounds while Bosh had 22 points for Toronto. The Lakers will finish the regular season with 11 of 17 games on the road
