On Wednesday, Kobe Bryant scored 41 points in order to guide the Los Angeles Lakers to a 103-102 overtime victory over the Houston Rockets.

Three successive free throws were made by Andrew Bynum for the NBA champion Lakers in the extra session, including one that broke a 102-102 tie with 24 seconds remaining.

Bynum finished with 17 points and 17 rebounds while the balanced Rockets had six players scoring 10 or more points, with Carl Landry leading the home team with 20.

Ron Artest, a former Rockets’ forward, scored a three-pointer that put the Lakers 92-89 up with 30 seconds remaining before Houston’s Trevor Ariza, who helped the Lakers to last season’s NBA title, answered with his own three-pointer to force overtime.
