Kobe,Shaq Shred Raptors for Easy Victory
Bryan scored 31 points and o'neal added 24 in a dominant all-around performance as the lakers.
"He (Shaq) was the total difference," raptors Guard Dell curry said. "you have to key your defence around Shaq,he's pretty much unstoppable, and everybody on that team feeds off of him."
Last month the lakers were beaten by three points on their home court when the raptors came to visit. O'Neal missed that game with an injured toe.
"They beat U.S. on our home court without Shaquille. We were definitely looking forward to coming up here to play," lakers forward Samaki Walker said.
The raptors came out strong in the first period and had a 38-29 lead with 7:15 left in the second quarter, but then fell away.
Bryan and O'Neal then took over, combining for 13 points during a 24-6 run in the second quarter.
All-star fan favorite, Vince Carter, scored 24 points and Antonio Davis had 12 for the raptors, who were without Morris Peterson (broken finger) and center Hakeem Olajuwon (bad toe).
In Sacramento, Chris Webber had his first triple-double of the season with 28 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists as the Kings defeated the Milwaukee bucks 115-101.
The Kings extended their season-high winning streak to seven games with the victory. Sacramento improved to 9-2 when the all-star power forward is in the line up.
