It was a game to remember, a game in which the Lakers proved that they can still compete--something they have hardly shown this season.

They started off strong, and never looked back. They led by as many as 30 at one point. And coasted to an easy lopsided victory.

Kobe Bryant acknowledges it was their best win of the season. He scored 27.

Phil Jackson concurs that the Spurs will take the number one seed. The Lakers are 6 and half games back, with only 18 games left to play.

San Antonio's franchise record was ended, a 22 game home winning streak.

It was the one of the worst games this season for the Spurs, they scored a season low 37 points in the first half. Soon they realized they would just clear the bench.

Paul Gasol scored 21 points, and Andrew Bynum crashed the boards for 17 rebounds.

Kobe is 13 points short of surpassing Moses Malone for 6th all time in scoring.

Manu Ginobili was held to six, Tony Parker scored 14, and Gary Neal scored 15.

Up next: Nowitzki and co.
