Parker is just grateful the Spurs sidestepped the drama and kept moving steadily into the second round of th...

And when the Lakers' tumultuous season finally collapsed Sunday night, the smooth Spurs rolled right past them to the second round. Tony Parker scored 23 points, and San Antonio completed its first-...

(AP) — Facing an 0-3 deficit to the surging San Antonio Spurs, the Los Angeles Lakers probably will run out of games in their season before they run out of healthy players. But it'll be close. Coach Mike D'Antoni said Metta World Peace won't play in Game 4 of their first-round series Sunday when the Lakers attempt to avoid their earli...

Time for one of the game's best closers to get to work with the score tied to start the fourth quarter. He fueled a desperate rally with 23 of his 30 points in the last 12 minutes, and the Los Angeles Lakers beat the New Orleans Hornets 104-96 on Tuesday night to keep the...

Bryant, who had 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, let out a less-than-enthusiastic "yippee." The win improved the Lakers to 33-31, th...

(AP) — In a season full of turmoil and frustration, this would have been a particularly exasperating loss for the Los Angeles Lakers. One of the most accurate free throw shooters in NBA history had missed two, giving the Detroit Pistons one more chance at a game-winning shot.
