Lakers 109, Knicks 87

Before he got ejected for beefing about a call that went against him in the opening seconds of the fourth quarter, Andrew Bynum had another in a string of superb games. He scored 18 points, grabbed seven rebounds and helped to play strong defense against Amare Stoudemire of the New York Knicks. Stoudemire had 23 points on 7-for-24 shooting and 10 rebounds. Bynum is averaging 13.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots in seven starts. Meanwhile, Ron Artest's takedown of Stoudemire near the end of the third quarter could result in a suspension since it was ruled to be a flagrant-1 foul. Stay tuned. The Lakers won their fourth in a row and their sixth in their last seven games.
