It’s usually Kobe Bryant who comes out saving the team from a loss, but the Laker bench did the job tonight by picking up the pieces Kobe couldn’t carry in a big Martin Luther King Day victory against their 2009 NBA Finals opponent the Orlando Magic 98-92 in front of a capacity Staples Center crowd. The win is huge because it’s the final home game for the Lakers in the month of January as they embark on an 8-game road schedule in 12 nights starting in Cleveland.
