Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Pau Gasol scored a season-high 34 points as the Lakers bounced back from their first loss of the season with a 116-109 win over the Chicago Bulls. Miles Austin Youth Jersey . Kobe Bryant added 21 points and Andrew Bynum posted 18 points and nine rebounds on a milestone night for the center, as Los Angeles moved to 8-1 on the season with its lone loss coming Friday night, 106-95, at home against Detroit. "My teammates were able to find me a lot," said Gasol. "I was running well and my teammates gave me a couple of open, easy opportunities. In the post, I was feeling pretty effective." With his nine rebounds, Bynum reached 1,000 boards for his career. He became the eighth-youngest player in NBA history to reach the plateau, doing it at 21 years and 22 days of age. Rookie Derrick Rose had 25 points and nine assists, and Ben Gordon ended with 23 points, but went just 6-of-22 from the field, as the Bulls remained winless on the road after four games. "We couldnt match his size in the post," said Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro of Gasol. "Hes long and very effective in there." The Lakers were ahead by only five to start the third quarter, but Bryant hit a jumper and banged in a three-pointer before Bynum jammed and finished off a three-point play for a 69-56 cushion. Another three-ball by Bryant upped the advantage to 82-65 and it was 90-74 going into the fourth. The closest the Bulls got was the final score. Included in that final period was another three by Bryant with 3 1/2 minutes remaining, moving the lead to 110-97. He finished 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. Gasol scored 24 of his points in the first half, but the Bulls remained close in the opening 24 minutes. They were behind 30-29 after one quarter and held a slim edge early in the second, but the Lakers scored 13 in a row at one point for a 51-38 lead. Bryants layup capped the burst. Notes: The Lakers have won the last three meetings..Chicago has lost 10 of its last 12 on the road versus the Lakers..Jordan Farmar scored 12 points and Lamar Odom had 10 for the Lakers, while Aaron Gray posted 11 points for the Bulls..Chicago committed 22 turnovers, leading to 22 LA points.   Deion Branch Jersey . No timeline has been given for his return. The Colts defence tends to rise and fall with Sanders health. In 2005, he started 14 games and the Colts started 13-0. In 2006, Sanders missed 12 regular-season games and the run defence ranked among the leagues worst. Authentic Anthony Davis Jersey . Humberto Quintero also homered for the Astros, who won the final two games in the series and three of five overall. Brandon Backe (9-12) allowed six hits and a pair of runs over 6 2/3 innings to earn the win, his third in four starts. Sean Lee Premier Jersey .K. Subban had his breakout moment in the NHL when he joined the Montreal Canadiens during their surprising run to the Eastern Conference Finals last spring. Dallas Cowboys DeMarco Murray Jersey . Michael Beasley added 16 points and seven rebounds for Miami, which won for the seventh time in 10 games to move a half-game ahead of Charlotte for sixth place in the East. Dwyane Wade had one of his lowest scoring outputs of the season, pouring in just 14 points to go with nine assists and five rebounds. Richard Seymour Jersey . Lincecum (4-1) yielded five hits, walked two and fanned eight batters to win his fourth straight decision. The right-hander is 5-0 lifetime against Atlanta. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner has allowed just four earned runs in 22 career innings against the Braves at AT&T Park. Roman Harper Jersey . Lei Sen, 22, is alleged to have used a mobile phone to remotely detonate the bomb in the parking lot of an office building in downtown Beijings Dongzhimen area in October last year. His motive was to avenge a personal grudge against society, said a spokesman for Dongcheng District Court, citing prosecution files. Authentic Charles Woodson White Jersey . Hanescu, a semifinalist in Casablanca last month, broke his opponent five times and saved the six break points he faced to close out the match in just 54 minutes. Justin Smith Replica Jersey . The number 3 internet company in China told the US Securities and Exchange Commission in a preliminary prospectus that UBS investment bank, Citi and Stifel Nicolaus Weisel are underwriting the IPO.Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - Dwight Howard dominated the paint in a major inside mismatch, scoring 22 points with 15 rebounds, as Orlando held on for a 96-93 victory over Chicago at Amway Arena. Going up against the shorter Drew Gooden and Tyrus Thomas inside, Howard made 9-of-15 from the floor and pulled down eight offensive rebounds. Rashard Lewis donated 21 points and pulled down 11 rebounds, while guards Jameer Nelson and Keith Bogans each contributed 13 points for Orlando, which continued its domination of Chicago with its fifth straight win in the series. "It is a huge load guarding Dwight," said Gooden. "I think he is applying himself as a dominant center in this league." Gooden scored 21 points and Andres Nocioni added 20 and seven boards off the bench for Chicago. Top-overall pick Derrick Rose scored 14 points in nearly 39 minutes of action. Ben Gordon donated 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting, also off the bench. Luol Deng struggled with just one point on 0-of-8 shooting in 25:47 of action. Orlando kept Chicago in the contest thanks to some shoddy free throw shooting. A Rose runner and Gordon jumper cut the deficit to 93-92 in the fourth period before Lewis made just 1-of-2 from the charity stripe with 22.8 ticks to go. Gordon then raced the floor and took an ill-advised fadeaway floater over the outstretched arms of Howard. The shot barely drew iron and Lewis made a pair from the free throw line with 10.9 seconds. Despite the two makes in the final seconds, the Magic made only 21-of-31 from the charity stripe on the night. Nocioni was then fouled shooting a three-pointer with 4.7 tticks to go, but he missed the first before making the second. Troy Polamalu Premier Jersey. He missed the third on purpose and corralled the rebound, but he missed a game-tying trey in the final second. "I thought the thing we did well was we got some stops down the stretch, but boy we didnt finish well," stated Orlando head coach Stan Van Gundy. The first half was a tale of two quarters, and a microcosm of two teams with two very different offensive philosophies. Chicago jumped out to a 9-3 lead after three consecutive jumpers, but went cold for the remainder of the period. Orlando netted the final 13 points of the quarter to take a double-digit edge. Bogans contributed seven in a row, six coming on a pair of treys, and Howard added some thunder with a slam and subsequent free throw. Hedo Turkoglus free throw gave the Magic a 31-21 edge. The Bulls missed their final six shots of the period. That stat quickly turned around midway through the second period. Pietrus three gave Orlando a 40-26 lead, but the Bulls heated up from the perimeter. While Orlando grew its lead with a large rebound advantage, Chicago crept back into the fray with a barrage of outside shooting. An 11-2 stretch cut the deficit to six points. A jumper and three-pointer from Gordon made the score 47-41. Goodens hook shot cut the lead to four points, 49-45, and Aaron Grays layup put the halftime deficit at 50-47. Game Notes: Orlando has won eight of the last 10 overall in the series..Howard has five double-doubles already this season..Orlando fired 27 three-pointers, making just nine..Chicago committed 17 turnovers..Attendance 15,606.
