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.
