LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Kobe Bryant stayed hot with 26 points and dished off nine assists Sunday in the Los Angeles Lakers' 90-82 win over Memphis.
Bryant continued his recent high-scoring streak despite playing with a sore wrist. Coming off three straight games of at least 30 points, the Lakers star went 11-of-22 from the field as Los Angeles notched its sixth straight home win.
The Lakers' front court trio of Andrew Bynum, Matt Barnes and Pau Gasol combined for 43 points and 40 rebounds, and Los Angeles dominated the boards by a 53-34 margin.
Rudy Gay paced Memphis with 19 points. Marreese Speights came off the bench to add 17 and hauled down seven rebounds as the Grizzlies fell to 1-4 on the road.
