Kobe Bryant has beaten the Minnesota Timberwolves 22 straight times, and he may have gotten away with one in his latest victory. Ricky Rubio insists Bryant fouled him on a 3-pointer on the last play of the game. Bryant said no way. "That's not a foul. They ain't calling that s---," Bryant said. "I don't think I got him. That's a tough call to make. I just put my hand in. It's not like I went out and smacked him across the arm or anything like that. It is what it is." Would Bryant have been "surprised" if a foul was called? "No. We would have gone into overtime and won the game. It's as simple as that." Just like the Lakers always do against Minnesota. Bryant had 31 points and seven assists in his first game filling in for the injured Metta World Peace to lead Los Angeles to a 120-117 victory over Minnesota on Wednesday night, extending the longest active winning streak against one team in the NBA.
