Kobe Bryant scored 31 points and Shannon Brown added a season-high 21 off the bench as the Los Angeles Lakers snapped a two-game slide with a 118-107 victory over the host Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.
Pau Gasol chipped in 18 points and 10 rebounds and Lamar Odom finished with 13 and seven for the Lakers, who started the season with eight straight wins before dropping their last two.
Trailing, 64-57, after Brandon Jennings drained a 3-pointer with 10:41 left in the third quarter, Los Angeles began to turn it on, grabbing a 70-68 lead when Bryant capped a 13-4 surge with a jumper.
The Bucks took another lead at 75-72 but the Lakers came right back again as Matt Barnes drained a 3-pointer to kick off an 18-6 run to end the quarter.
Milwaukee got within 109-102 with 4:07 left. But Brown, who scored 10 points in a row for Los Angeles at one point during the fourth quarter, drained a 3-pointer to end any hopes of a rally.
Jennings scored 31 points and Drew Gooden added 22 points and 13 boards for the Bucks.
