Bryant, Lakers take down Heat

Kobe Bryant scored 33 points on Sunday, 83 win over the Heat.

Bryant, still donning a protective mask as a result of a hard foul delivered by Dwyane Wade in last Sunday's All-Star game, made 14-of-23 shots. Metta World Peace added 17 points, seven rebounds and a season-high four steals for the Lakers, who have won three straight and eight of 10.

The Heat have lost two in a row, marking just the second time this season that they have dropped consecutive games.

LeBron James had 25 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists in the setback, while Wade added 16 points before fouling out with 5:14 to play. Miami was without power forward Chris Bosh for the third straight game, as he continues to deal with a death in the family.
