Kobe Bryant found winning was the best revenge, scoring 33 points to lift the Lakers to a 93-83 NBA victory over Miami a week after his nose was broken by Heat guard Dwyane Wade in the All-Star Game. The foul in the NBA's mid-season exhibition, which also left Bryant with a concussion, had turned Sunday's marquee contest into a grudge match, but the Lakers were content to extract payback via the scoreboard. Bryant, still wearing a clear protective plastic mask that covered his nose, cheekbones and eyes, scored 18 points on eight-of-10 shooting in the first quarter. The Heat, who trailed by as many as 16 in the second quarter and closed within two late in the third, lost their second straight, after falling 99-98 to Utah on Friday, when the Jazz snapped the Heat's nine-game winning streak. Wade could do nothing to help at the finish, after he fouled out with 5:14 to play having scored 16 points with five assists and four rebounds. Miami superstar LeBron James scored 25 points with 13 rebounds and seven assists.
