LOS ANGELES, Calif. Wholesale Authentic Air Jordan 11 . - Kobe Bryant has gradually accepted that its a good idea to miss a few games this season to keep his 36-year-old body in top shape for the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers schedule.With a day off coming up, he put everything into another vintage late-game performance against the Indiana Pacers.Bryant scored 20 points and hit the go-ahead short jumper with 12.4 seconds to play, leading the Lakers to an 88-87 comeback victory Sunday night.Bryant is learning to accept his 36-year-old bodys limitations, and he agreed with coach Byron Scotts decision to leave him home from Mondays game at Portland. While playing just 32 minutes against Indiana, Bryant scored nine points in the final 2:32 after the Lakers rallied from a 13-point deficit in the second half.I have many faults, but one of my strengths is that I can be realistic and that I can build around that, Bryant said. I have to understand my weaknesses, what I cant do, accept it and then try to dominate.It wasnt utter domination, but resilience: Bryant hit a contested 3-pointer from the corner to put the Lakers up 84-82 with 2 minutes to play, but Solomon Hill answered with a 3-pointer for the Pacers, who repeatedly grabbed key offensive rebounds. Bryant then missed a 3-footer with 50 seconds left, but buried the winning 4-footer.He has missed several potential go-ahead shots in the final seconds this season, but Kobe still isnt flinching in the clutch.Ive hit plenty of them in my day, Bryant said with a laugh. I think the city of L.A. is a little spoiled by it.Nick Young also scored 10 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter for the Lakers.Roy Hibbert missed a difficult jumper off a broken play as time expired to end the Lakers third win in 10 games.Not too good, Hibbert said about the Pacers final play. I dont think the shot that I took was the shot we drew up.C.J. Miles had 19 points to lead six Pacers scoring in double figures. Despite outrebounding the Lakers 50-37, Indiana failed to secure its first three-game winning streak of the season.With point guards George Hill and C.J. Watson sidelined by injuries, Donald Sloan had 16 points, nine assists and seven rebounds in the third-stringers second straight start after not playing in the previous three games.After Young made a steal and a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to end the first half with the Lakers down 48-41, Indiana opened its largest lead in the third quarter. The Lakers erased it gradually, pulling even on Youngs behind-the-head layup while falling down with 7:20 to play.TIP-INSPacers: Ian Mahinmi (torn left plantar fascia) is still sidelined along with George Hill (strained groin) and Watson (foot). ... Bryant is the only player left in the NBA from the Lakers victory over the Pacers in the 2000 NBA Finals. Al Harrington, the last Pacers player still in the league last season, is playing in China.Lakers: During the fourth quarter, the Lakers announced rookie Julius Randle will have surgery to replace the screw in his right foot. Randle was lost for the season in the Lakers opening game with a broken right leg. ... Ronnie Price botched an uncontested dunk in the third quarter when the ball slipped out of his hand.NOT SO FLAGRANTHibbert got a technical foul when he reacted furiously to a foul from Carlos Boozer in the fourth quarter. Teammates kept the big men apart, but the Lakers were mystified by the officials decision to call a flagrant foul on Boozer after video review. I asked all three referees to explain to me what a flagrant foul is now, because I have no clue, Scott said. College ball is more aggressive than we are, and much more physical than the NBA right now.WES WOESWesley Johnson strained his right hip flexor in the second quarter and didnt return. He wont make the Lakers trip to Portland, leaving the Lakers down two regular starters. Johnson has started all 33 games for Los Angeles, averaging 9.7 points per game. Hell have an MRI on Monday.FREE THROWSThe Lakers made 16 of their 17 free throws in the second half, including all nine in the fourth quarter. Vogel didnt blame the officiating: We marched them to the free throw line in the fourth quarter, and they shot 93 per cent.UP NEXTPacers: Monday at Utah.Lakers: Monday at Portland. Cheap Nike Air Jordan 11 . The rookie is rewarding their faith with a stellar first season. MacKinnon had a goal and two assists, Jamie McGinn had two goals and an assist, and Colorado beat the Buffalo Sabres 7-1 on Saturday. Cheap Real Air Jordan 11 . People familiar with the case told The Associated Press on Friday that arbitrator Fredric Horowitz could issue his decision this weekend. http://www.cheapairjordan11.us/ . - The Chicago Bears have agreed to a one-year contract with free-agent centre Brian de la Puente.ARLINGTON, Texas - Two questions are at the heart of Andrew Lucks first game against the Dallas Cowboys in the Indianapolis quarterbacks visit to his home state.Will NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray play with the Cowboys needing to win at least one, if not both, of their final two games to end a four-year playoff drought?And what exactly are Luck and the Colts playing for Sunday with their post-season spot secure, but not a great chance to improve their seeding?First things first: Murray, who has 1,687 yards rushing and needs 87 to break NFL rushing leader Emmitt Smiths franchise record of 1,773.The fourth-year running back went through some individual drills in the first day of practice Wednesday after breaking the bone above the ring finger in his left hand in last weeks 38-27 win at Philadelphia.The victory gave Dallas sole possession of first place in the NFC East. He had protective padding on the hand.Really what we want to do is just see how he responded to that work that he did today and then see how he is as the week progresses, and hopefully he can be functional for the ballgame, coach Jason Garrett said. If he cant be, we wont allow him to play, and if he can, well give him a chance.As big as the win against the Eagles was, it wont mean much if the Cowboys (10-4) lose either to the Colts or Washington in the finale and Philadelphia beats the New York Giants and Redskins, also-rans in the division. In that scenario, Dallas is thrown into a wild-card mix with generally unfavourable tiebreakers.We try not to think of it in those terms, Tony Romo said. We just think of it as one game at a time, playing for everything each week. And weve done it two weeks in a row, weve got a third one to go do, and after that one, well start over again.The Colts (10-4) wrapped up the AFC South with last weeks 17-10 win over Houston and need help trying to catch either New England or Denver for a first-round bye in the playoffs. But Indianapolis isnt taking kindly to the word tuneup.Were not taking our foot off the pedal by any means, said Luck, who plays in his hometown of Houston every year. Theres a lot on this game. I know were fired up for it.Things to consider in the first meeting between these teams since 2010, when Romoo was out with a broken collarbone but the Cowboys beat Peyton Manning anyway:WHAT ABOUT HILTON? Perhaps the biggest decision for the Colts with their post-season spot secure is whether to play T. Air Jordan 11 Outlet. Y. Hilton, who is fourth in the NFL with 1,345 yards receiving. Hes nursing a hamstring injury and didnt practice Wednesday. I want to be at 100 per cent giving it my all, but nobodys 100 per cent during this time of year, Hilton said. So if Im 60, 70, Im out there.MURRAYS BLOCKERS: The Cowboys could be without both starters on the right side of their offensive line in tackle Doug Free and rookie guard Zack Martin, who grew up in Indianapolis. Both are battling ankle injuries, and Free also has an issue with his left foot after missing three games earlier this season with a broken right foot.LUCKS MIND GAMES? A story came out this week describing how Luck sometimes compliments opposing players after getting sacked. Dallas defensive end Jeremy Mincey said he experienced it as an AFC South rival in Jacksonville. He kind of got to me by saying, That was excellent, said Mincey, who had two sacks last weekend against the Eagles. Im like, Dude, dont talk to me. Please. But I respect him so much.DEZ ON A ROLL: Dallas receiver Dez Bryant had a career-high three touchdowns against Philadelphia to take over the NFL lead in TDs receiving at 13. He needs 235 yards in the final two games to beat his career high of 1,382 yards receiving in 2012. Hes a nightmare, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. Hes a combination of size, athleticism and speed. But his competitive nature and his drive and his passion for the game and for his team and for winning is second to none.HOME SOUR HOME: The Cowboys are 7-0 on the road and could go 8-0 for the first time in franchise history with a victory at last-place Washington in next weeks regular-season finale. On the flip side, theyre at risk of a losing record at home if they cant beat the Colts. Im just really not sure what the difference is at home and away, centre Travis Frederick said. I would love to know so that we could fix it. But I dont.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler ' ' '
