Roundup: Lakers rout Warriors after Mike Brown firing

Kobe Bryant scored 27 points, Pau Gasol added 14 points and 16 rebounds, and the Lakers responded to coach Mike Brown’s firing earlier Friday with a 101-77 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Los Angeles.

Jordan Hill scored 14 points for the Lakers, who had just a few hours to absorb Brown’s dismissal after just 18 months on the job. Following a bumpy first half under interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff, they pulled away in the third quarter with a 25-9 run led by Bryant, who also had nine rebounds and seven assists.
