LOS ANGELES (AP) Mike Bibby made two 3-pointers in the final 90 seconds to cap a 31-point performance.
Peja Stojakovic had 37 points and nine rebounds as the Kings won their fourth straight and eighth in nine games despite playing shorthanded. Bibby also had eight rebounds and seven assists.
Kobe Bryant's 3-pointer with 37.8 seconds left drew the Lakers within two points.
After Bibby missed a 3-pointer, the Lakers elected not to call timeout. Bryant used a screen from Shaquille O'Neal to get open, but his 25-footer was short. Bibby rebounded and dribbled out the clock.
Bryant had 35 points, a season-high 11 rebounds and six assists. O'Neal had 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers (36-20), who had won five straight and seven of eight.
