Lakers win @ Seattle in OT

The Lakers pulled out the win 123-121 at Seattle Key Arena tonight, their first win since learning Andrew Bynum will be sidelined 4-8 weeks with a knee injury.

Kobe scored 48 points on 21-44 shooting and hit the go ahead basket with less than 5 seconds left in the game. Nick Collison had a chance to win the game but missed an 18 footer at the buzzer.
