HOUSTON -- Kobe Bryant scored 33 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer from somewhere deep in the heart of Texas with less than 30 seconds remaining to lift the Lakers to a 105-100 victory over the Houston Rockets. Pau Gasol added 11 points, including three key free throws in the final seconds. The Lakers won despite a career-high 23 from Houston's Von Wafter. Yao Ming had 19 points and 17 rebounds.
