LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Kobe Bryant's 20 points led a balanced Los Angeles attack in the Lakers' 104-80 rout of the Atlanta Hawks Tuesday.

Bryant, who also had five assists, was one of five Lakers in double figures in the win that ended a three-game losing streak.

Shannon Brown scored 15 off the Los Angeles bench and Paul Gasol scored 14 plus 10 rebounds.

Andrew Bynum scored 5 points but pulled down 15 of the Lakers' 54 rebounds.

Joe Johnson scored 14 for the Hawks, who have lost four of their last five; Al Horford scored 13.

Los Angeles led by as many as 15 in the first quarter and used a 14-point run in the second quarter to put the game out of reach and allow Coach Phil Jackson to empty his bench in the second half.
