Sacramento, UNITED STATES, February 1 - Kobe Bryant had 38 points, five rebounds and five assists and Shaquille O'Neal added 36 points, 10 rebounds and six assists as the Lakers defeated the Sacramento Kings convincingly Friday night, 124-113.
The Kings played their second game without leading scorer Chris
Webber, who is out for 3 weeks with a sprained left ankle - the same
injury that sidelined him for the first 20 games last season.
Predrag "Peja" Stojakovic scored 36 points before fouling out with 1:31 left as the Kings lost at home for the second straight game and just the fourth time all season. They hadn't lost consecutive home games since back-to-back losses to Dallas and Milwaukee in early April 2001.

Seattle hit two early baskets in the fourth period to extend its lead to double digits, and the Grizzlies never got closer than six the rest of the way. Radmanovic connected on three 3-pointers in the final 5:33 to seal it.
