The Lakers are back in their series against the Suns thanks to another big game from Kobe Bryant and, believe it or not, Kwame Brown.

After falling behind by 17 points in the first quarter and drawing boos from the home crowd, the Lakers battled back and beat the Suns 95-89 Thursday night to cut Phoenix's lead to 2-1 in the first-round playoff series.

Bryant scored 15 of his 45 points in the fourth quarter, and had six rebounds and six assists. Brown added a career playoff-high 19 points and Lamar Odom had 18 points and 16 rebounds. Brown scored a total of 11 points in the first two games.
