Instant Classic: Lakers stunning rally edges Mavericks

After being booed off the floor at halftime, the Lakers pulled off the second-biggest fourth-quarter comeback in NBA history Dec. 6 to stun the Mavericks, 105-103. The game will be presented as an Instant Classic on Friday at 9 p.m. ET.

The Lakers rallied from a 27-point deficit at the start of the final period led by Kobe Bryant, who scored 21 of his 27 in the final 12 minutes -- including a turnaround jumper to snap a 103-all tie with eight seconds remaining.

The Lakers shot an amazing 16-of-18 from the field and hit eight of 11 free throws in the fourth.

Bryant's heroics came after he pulled his groin in the third quarter when the Lakers trailed by 30.

Trainer Gary Vitti was on his way to tell coach Phil Jackson when Bryant yanked him aside.

"Gary was going to rat me out," Bryant said. "I had to jerk his arm out of the socket and say, 'I'm all right, man. Don't snitch on me. Let me play.'"
