SALT LAKE CITY: It took Kobe Bryant only a few minutes to end his shooting slump.
Bryant scored Los Angeles' first 11 points and once his teammates joined in, the Lakers overwhelmed the Jazz 108-94 on Saturday night and moved within one game of advancing to the second round.
"It was important for me to come out and be a little more assertive," said Bryant, who scored 38 two nights after one of his worst shooting games in years.
