Lakers snap 3-game skid on Bryant's late jumper

 Lakers snap 3-game skid on Bryant's late jumper

LOS ANGELES(AP) Kobe Bryant hit a 17-foot fallaway jumper with 1.9 seconds left, and the Los Angeles Lakers rallied in the fourth quarter to snap their three-game losing streak with a 109-107 victory over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night.

Chris Bosh hit a 3-pointer with 9.5 seconds left to tie it for the Raptors, who outplayed the defending champions for most of the first three quarters before losing on another big shot by Bryant, who scored 14 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter.

Bryant got the ball on the wing, eluded Antoine Wright's defense and moved nearly to the baseline for a graceful jumper. Wright's failed desperation shot set off a celebration for the Lakers, who haven't lost four straight since April 2007.
