Gasol scores 34, Lakers beat Hornets (AP)

Kobe Bryant wanted Pau Gasol to be selfish, and the All-Star center listened. It was hard to argue with the result. Gasol had a season-high 34 points to go with 10 rebounds, helping the Los Angeles Lakers beat the New Orleans Hornets 101-95 on Saturday night. “I’m always in attack mode and it’s my responsibility to recognize things on the team that can help us,” Bryant said.
