Los Angeles, CA (My Sportsbook) - The rejuvenated Los Angeles Lakers go for their third straight win on Friday when they welcome the Cleveland Cavaliers to Staples Center.

LA won for the fourth time in five games on Tuesday by routing the Seattle SuperSonics, 119-98, as Kobe Bryant set an NBA record with 12 three-pointers and finished with 45 points.

Bryant also set an NBA record by hitting nine in a row from behind the arc. He finished 12-of-18 from three-point territory and made 16-of-28 shots overall.

Bryant, who had never made more than five three-pointers in a game, broke the previous record of 11 treys with 6:58 left to play. Dennis Scott of Orlando had set the three-point record on April 18, 1996 against Atlanta.

Shaquille O'Neal added 20 points for the Lakers, who made a team-record 17 three-pointers on 32 attempts.
