DALLAS – An ailing Kobe Bryant drained a game-winning jump shot with 28 seconds remaining to pull the sliding Los Angeles Lakers to a 100-95 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.

Plagued by an injured finger on his shooting hand as well as back spasms that forced him off court on Tuesday, Bryant delivered the big shot to break a 95-95 tie and help Los Angeles (30-9) snap a four-game road losing streak.

The Lakers closed the contest with free throws.

Bryant was otherwise quiet, scoring just 10 points and attempted 11 shots as big men Andrew Bynum, who got 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Lamar Odom (18 and 14) carried the load for the defending NBA champions.

Dirk Nowitzki recorded 30 points to surpass 20,000 points scored for his career in the losing cause.

The German also added 16 boards for the Mavericks (25-13), who trailed for much of the game but used an 8-0 run to tie the game with 42 seconds to go.
