Lakers guard Kobe Bryant goes for a reverse dunk against Blazers forward Nicolas Batum during the first half. Bryant scored 17 of his game-high 26 points in the first half.

Their victory over Portland, combined with losses by the Celtics and the Cavaliers earlier Sunday, makes L.A.'s 27-5 mark NBA's best.
