    The Lakers needed a last-minute basket to hold off the Boston Celtics, and Kobe Bryant knew everybody in green would expect him to take the shot.

    That's why Bryant suggested Andrew Bynum should do it -- and the All-Star center leaped at the opportunity to seal Los Angeles' latest win in the NBA's most storied rivalry.

    Bryant scored 10 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter and hit a go-ahead jumper with 41.7 seconds to play, and Bynum's hook shot over Kevin Garnett capped the Lakers' 97-94 victory Sunday.
