The Los Angeles Lakers were leading the Jazz by seven points midway through the fourth quarter when Kobe Bryant made the ultimate defensive stop on Utah's Andrei Kirilenko. The two-time NBA scoring champ then got six of his 33 points in the final 4? minutes to secure a 119-109 victory over the Jazz on Sunday night.

"I really really enjoy that challenge, because it's a mano-a-mano type of thing where somebody challenges you to meet you at the rim," Bryant said after his third block of the season and 470th of his career.
