PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Kobe Bryant scored 10 of his 32 points in the final period Wednesday, allowing the Los Angeles Lakers to fight off Philadelphia 114-102.

The Lakers bounced back from what was only their second loss of the season, a setback to Indiana Tuesday that ended a seven-game winning streak.

Pau Gasol added 22 points with 13 rebounds and Andrew Bynum had 18 points.

Philadelphia, losers of five out of six, got 26 points from Andrew Miller and 19 from Andre Iguodala.

Los Angeles owned a 16-point lead going into the fourth quarter, only to have the 76ers get within eight with 3:30 to play.

Bryant then took over by scoring eight straight Los Angeles points. The Lakers won their second straight in Philadelphia after having lost seven in a row on the 76ers' court.
