Great Kobe was too fast for the Sonics
The Seattle SuperSonics fought hard but yet couldn't find a way to counter Kobe Bryant, who scored 35 points in Los Angeles Lakers' 106-99 victory.Indeed, the Sonics have now lost 11 of their 13 games this season, including their last five. The Lakers used Seattle's futility to break their own three-match losing streak.
IT's good to say that Lamar Odom added 20 points for Los Angeles, while Andrew Bynum chipped in 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Derek Fisher had 14 points and eight assists.
As we know, Seattle got 25 points from Kevin Durant and 18 from Chris Wilcox. Kurt Thomas grabbed 13 rebounds to go with his seven points, while Earl Watson came off the bench to net 16 more.
And after a closely contested first quarter that saw six ties and seven lead changes, the Lakers edged ahead 30-25 going into the second period. Despite the situation, Seattle battled back to tie it at 54-54 at the half.
Los Angeles Lakers used a 9-2 run in the third quarter to take a double-digit lead but the Sonics pulled back to within 68-64. But they faded and the yellow team led 85-73 going into the fourth quarter and kept them at bay the rest of the way. This result will help Kobe's team a lot in order to find tranquility.

Kobe's 31 points were not enough against Jason Kidd
Jason Kidd and Kobe Bryant were face to find looking forward to get the victory. And in the end, Kidd had 15 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds leading the Nets to a 102-100 win over the Lakers and over Kobe, who had 31 points.
During New Jersey's recent six-metch losing streak, Kidd was quoted in New York papers as saying that the Nets have a habit of "letting go of the rope," and playing with a "glass jaw."
And we can see that his teammates got the message. They've won three straight.
Also Jefferson had 27 points, Vince Carter had 19 in a reserve role and Bostjan Nachbar scored nine of his 15 points in the fourth quarter.
As for Kobe Bryant, he made 15 straight free throws before missing a clutch foul shot with 6.1 seconds to go. The two-time defending NBA scoring champ started out 3-for-16 from the field, going the entire second and third quarters without a basket. His next one came on a layup with 6:13 to play. But during his drought, the Nicks had turned a 14-point deficit into an 85-72 lead with a 16-3 run.
"They were on Kobe really well and they made it difficult for him," Lakers coach Phil Jackson admitted. "I thought that most of his shots were challenged. They stayed down on his pump fakes and he didn't get any rhythm in his shots."
Both squads blew double-digit leads. Carter triggered the Nets' pivotal rally, hitting a three-pointer with 2.6 seconds left in the third quarter to tie it 72-all.
Indeed, the Nets took their first lead of the game 24 seconds into the fourth on Nachbar's layup, and Jefferson capped the run on a layup that gave New Jersey an 84-74 lead with 8:39 remaining.
"The first half was a little bit lackadaisical, and there were probably just a couple of guys playing at a higher speed," expressed Kidd, who had eight turnovers. "But in the second half, I think everyone pitched in. Defensively is where I thought we turned the game around."
And Kobe Bryant made a three-point play and a pair of three-point baskets, all in a 55-second span, and Sasha Vujacic followed with another three-pointer - his only points of the game - to give the Lakers a 96-94 edge with 1:28 left. However, the Nets still managed to come out with the win.
"We didn't execute properly at the start of the fourth quarter," Bryant admitted. "They jumped out to a huge lead on us, and it was an uphill battle for that point on."
The Nets had a three-point lead when Bryant was fouled by Kidd behind the three-point line on an inbounds play. He sank the first two free throws, and despite it, they missed the third and Nachbar got the rebound. He made one of two at the other end after getting fouled immediately by Luke Walton, and Vladimir Radmanovic missed an attempted tying three-point shot at the buzzer.
Derek Fisher, who made 20 points, helped Los Angeles build a 49-37 halftime lead by going 5-for-5 from the field - with all of his shots coming from at least 18 feet out with Kidd guarding him. The Lakers took their greatest lead, 47-33, on Lamar Odom's three-pointer with 3:14 left in the 2nd quarter.
Finally, the Nets finished 3-1 on the road trip, only the third time in the franchise's NBA history that they had a winning record on their annual Thanksgiving trip. They were 3-2 in 1998-99 and 3-1 in 1992-93. Since Jason Kidd's arrival in 2001-02, they have gone a combined 11-21 during their Thanksgiving trips, including 0-4 last season. Good for them.

Tattoo-free awesome owl story ahead!...
Orphaned owls find new cuddly-toy mum
A group of orphaned baby owls snuggle up to a cuddly toy which has become their surrogate mum after they were found on the brink of death in the wild.
The tiny tawny owl chicks burrow in under the fluffy toy's wings to keep warm after they were separated from their own mothers.
The chicks, all aged between just four and eight weeks, faced certain death as they fended for themselves alone in the wild but are now recovering in an animal hospital.

Two of them, brother and sister Oscar and Olivia, aged four weeks were brought in by a concerned dog walker who found them being clawed to death by a pair of cats.
A fluffy baby aged around six weeks called Thomas was taken to the animal centre by a member of the public who spotted him lying on the edge of a busy road.
And tiny eight-week-old Tamsin narrowly escaped a nasty end when she was discovered by a cyclist tottering along a popular bike path through a forest.
All four of the nocturnal creatures are now being cared for by experts at the New Forest Otter, Owl & Wildlife Park at Longdown in the New Forest, Hants.
