| Kobe dunk on game against Houston Rockets |
The Los Angeles Lakers losed the game against Houston Rockets on December 4, 2012, Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 39 points and Howard had 16 points and 12 rebounds. The Rockets fouled Howard repeatedly in the last 3 1/2 minutes, gambling that sending him to the line would be better than allowing the Lakers to get the ball in Bryant's hands.
The Lakers were playing without forward Pau Gasol, who sat out because of tendinitis in both knees. Antawn Jamison started in his place and had 15 points and nine rebounds.
"You miss him a lot," Bryant said of Gasol. "He's a dominant player. He's an excellent passer, an excellent post player and an excellent shooter. We're missing a lot." The Lakers actually have a chance to make an overtime by Metta World Peace's offensive board and he missed his 8-feet two points shot.
The Rockets are paying tribute to coach Kevin McHale's daughter Alexandra "Sasha" McHale, who died on Nov. 24 at age 23 of complications from lupus, by wearing a green and purple band on their jerseys and a patch of the same color with her initials on their warm-up shirts.
