LOS ANGELES: Kobe Bryant scored 28 points as the Los Angeles Lakers squandered a big lead before taking control late in a 107-100 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.
Trevor Ariza had a career-high 26 and Pau Gasol added 25 for the Lakers, who are vying with Cleveland for the NBA's best record and are already the Pacific Division champs. They could meet the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs.
Reserve Jason Terry led Dallas with 29 points and Dirk Nowitzki added 20 on 6-of-20 shooting.
