The Los Angeles Lakers are playing tonight against a much healthier Atlanta Hawks team, than the last time they played. The Lakers are coming off a last minute win against the Charlotte Bobcats with Kobe Bryant looking more and more like himself. Saturday night, Bryant finished the game with two free throws to give the Lakers a win. Can he do it again tonight and show us why he is the best closer in the game?
Check out the highlights below:
Pau to Hill for the easy bucket

Kobe got all the way to the hoop for his second FG, and Gasol's up to 10 points on a perfect 5 for 5 to put LAL up 20-14.

X with the fadeaway 18fter from the right side. Lakers down by only 4 right now.

Lakers down 82-73 to Hawks after 3rd Q where ATL outscored them, 35-19. As Ron Bergundy would say, "Boy, that escalated quickly."

Kobe gets the reverse layup to fall but the Lakers have their work cut out for them, trailing 101-90 with 5:48 left in Atlanta.

Kobe (4 of 14, 8 points) way off tonight; Lakers' defense more off. Lakers lose in Atlanta and drop to 11-13.
