SAN ANTONIO - Kobe Bryant didnt catch Michael Jordan, though he got a victory thanks to Nick Young.Young scored 29 points, including a go-ahead 3-pointer with 7.4 seconds left in overtime, Bryant had 22 and the Los Angeles Lakers overcame a shaky ending to beat the San Antonio Spurs 112-110 on Friday night.After calling his teammates soft in a profanity-laced tirade Thursday following a scrimmage, Bryant was much happier with their efforts against the defending champions.Look, we can all criticize my style of leadership all day long, Bryant said. You can sit there and its uncomfortable, its whatever, but Ive been Ive been doing that since high school. We play this game to win championships and I have five of them.Its worked pretty well throughout my career.Tim Duncan had 19 points and 18 rebounds for San Antonio (16-7), which had its six-game home winning streak snapped in a performance Gregg Popovich called pitiful.It might have been good enough without the player nicknamed Swaggy P.Im so happy it ended up in my hands, Young said. I wanted to shoot that bad, especially being on the floor watching Kobe and playing for the Lakers; nothing like those types of shots.Young was 30 feet away with Manu Ginobili in his face and the shot clock about to expire.The last 3, Manu was everything but inside his jersey and he had to adjust his shot in the air and kind of shoot around Manus hands and it goes in, Duncan said. If you put a team in a situation like that, things like that can happen. We put the blame on ourselves for the 48-50 minutes before it gets to that point.Bryant needed 30 points to tie Jordan for third place on the career scoring list, but will have to wait until Sunday in Minnesota to possibly surpass the Hall of Famer.Bryants final basket in regulation was a 3-pointer in front of Popovich as the shot clock sounded with 1:59 remaining, nodding his head in celebration as he trotted down the court with the Lakers ahead 101-92.Thats when things went wrong for Los Angeles.San Antonio scored eight points in a minute, capped by Danny Greens 3-poointer with 45 seconds left to cut Los Angeles lead to 101-100. Bryant missed his final two jumpers and Ginobili made a free throw to tie the game with 6 seconds remaining. Duncan missed a turnaround jumper at the end of regulation.Bryant missed his final five shots while going 7 of 22, giving up numerous shot opportunities in favour of firing passes to his teammates. He finished with nine assists, but many of his passes led to secondary feeds for baskets.He was doubled a lot, but I thought he played well, Los Angeles coach Byron Scott said. He didnt shoot the ball particularly well, he had some great looks that he just missed, but I think in the second half, fourth quarter and overtime, a lot of that was due to fatigue. But you know, hes a warrior, hes going to try and gut it out, look for the open man or the open shot and knock down those buckets.Jeremy Lin, Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill each had 14 points for Los Angeles (7-16), which trailed 10-0.I thought the Lakers did a great job, Popovich said, leaving the postgame interview without taking any questions. They had an edge, they were aggressive on both ends of the floor, they executed well and they definitely wanted the game more than we did. It seemed more important to them than to us.

Check out todays trade-related reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. And follow TSN.ca through Deadline Day for all the updates. Mystery Men The Ottawa Senators are trying to get down to business, theyre just having start-up issues. Senators general manager Bryan Murray told The Ottawa Sun he was close to a minor trade that would have brought the Senators a forward, but that the deal was taken off the table prior to completion. "We had a couple of teams I was talking fairly serious to about a smaller type deal that would add one player to our team, but it doesnt appear its going to happen at this point," Murray said. The Sun surmises the Senators are still looking for a winger to play with Jason Spezza and that the Sens still covet Mississauga-native Matt Moulson. Waiting on Bolland The Toronto Maple Leafs may be looking to add bodies before the deadline as they cling to third in the Atlantic Division, but much of their activity may well depend on the return of Dave Bolland. Bollands eventual return - whether before or after the Olympic break &ndassh; will necessitate some roster movement on its own, with the Toronto Star reporting that at least two players will need to be moved to get down to the 23-man roster limit.dddddddddddd However, his return could also move some salary cap dominoes, especially with the team having added Tim Gleason into the mix over the duration of Bollands rehab. The Star report points toward the Leafs recent resurgence in secondary scoring as one factor to consider before any possible addition as well as managements stated belief in the teams depth. Addition and Subtraction? The Buffalo Sabres - currently 30th overall in the National Hockey League - will undoubtedly be busy at the deadline, but will they exclusively be in sell-off mode? The Buffalo News notes that should the team pull the trigger on a deal to move long-time starting netminder Ryan Miller, the team may also have to consider adding to its options in net for both the present and future. Jhonas Enroth is 1-10-5 and hasnt won since Oct. 25. The Buffalo News states that if new general manager Tim Murray is not confident he can win with Enroth moving forward, the Sabres could be in the market for a goalie. ' ' '
