WASHINGTON - Lakers coach Byron Scott wants Kobe Bryant to keep playing — and hes willing to do whatever it takes to keep the star on the court.
Greg Maddux Jersey .Throughout a miserable 5-13 start to the season, Bryant has been a bright spot. Hes leading the NBA in
scoring with a 25.8 average in nearly 36 minutes per game.The one thing Ive got
to do is look at his minutes, and make sure I dont go overboard, Scott said
before Wednesdays game against the Washington Wizards.The 16-time All-Star
played 33 minutes in Tuesday nights win at Detroit, and said afterward he was
tired. Scott says Bryant can set his own schedule — for practice.I dont need him
in practice at all, to be honest with you, Scott said. All he needs to know is
what were doing, coverage-wise.The 36-year-old Bryant has one more year after
this one on his contract. Scott is hoping hell play longer than that.Well talk
about that, Scott said. Hes got a lot left in that tank. I think if we put
something together that excites him, we have a real good chance of saying, play
another year.Scott has known Bryant since 1996 when they were teammates in the
coachs last year as a player — and Bryants first.Hes still hungry. He still
loves the game. He still loves the competition. He still loves going against
these younger guys now because he was once that younger guy, Scott said.

Corey Brewer all posted 14 points for the Rockets. We wanted to take the last
shot, Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. We flattened it out for James and James
has been making big shots all year and hes got the ability to step back and
gather, strong and goes up and shoots it. It was a big shot for us. Up to that
point, we had done some very interesting things to allow them back in the game.

nine assists and eight rebounds for the Suns, who had their four-game overall

the ball near the top of the key before moving to the left elbow. Thomas came to
help defensively, but he was too late as Hardens jumper rattled through the
basket. Well we didnt want to let him [Harden] beat us, Suns coach Jeff Hornacek
said. We sent Isaiah with five, but he made a good play. Isaiah flew by him at
that point, but we couldnt get it out of his hands. Great players make great
plays. Houston was up 32-24 after one quarter and 60-52 at halftime. The margin
was in double digits most of the third quarter and 87-77 going to the fourth.
