(Kobe) Bryant said the 23-year-old (Andrew) Bynum, who is in his sixth season, "makes a huge difference. He's extremely active defensively. He was all over the place. I'm not sure how many blocks he had, but he alters a great deal of shots. We funnel everything to our bigs, so the more active he is, the better we are."

Bryant, who led all scorers with 26 points, also said Bynum is the Lakers' trump card -- the defensive-minded shot blocker who has the ability to give the Lakers favorable matchups against all potential playoff opponents.

"We have a natural shot blocker," Bryant said. "That's what he does. He has great timing, he moves his feet well and that's a big key for our team."
