What's Up With The Lakers - Beat Grizz, Win 5 of 6 on Road Trip

The Los Angeles Lakers' traveling show has been getting good reviews recently.

Kobe Bryant scored 27 points and the Lakers completed a successful, six-game trek with a 94-79 victory Wednesday night over the Memphis Grizzlies.

The victory gave the Lakers a 5-1 record on the trip and snapped a five-game losing streak in Memphis. The trip was the most successful for the Lakers since a 6-0 road stint in 2000. Los Angeles is now 8-5 this season on the road, compared to 4-5 at home.

"Well, I'm just disappointed we didn't go 6-0 to be honest with you. We let one get away there," Laker coach Phil Jackson said, laughing about the lone loss at Minnesota. "No, we've been really fortunate with the way guys have been playing, especially on this trip."

The Grizzlies dropped their third straight, their longest skid of the season.

Bryant, who also had eight rebounds, connected on 10 of 17 shots from the field and missed only two of 11 attempts in the second and third periods. Los Angeles' 73-52 lead after three allowed Bryant to rest in the fourth quarter and watch the Lakers' reserves maintain the advantage.
