Dunk of the night: Gerald Henderson on Dwight Howard [video]

The Lakers now have three wins in a row beating the Charlotte bobcats 101-100. Break out the confetti – and they did Tuesday night at Staples but they do that for every home win. Pau Gasol was back in the line up and was one rebound shy of a double-double with ten points and 9 boards. Kobe had his seventh straight game scoring 30 points. He’s also the first NBA player to do that at the age of 34. After the game he said he wanted to keep this “Benjamin Button thing  going.”

Of course there’s a dunk highlight but it’s not by a Laker. Check out Bobcats’ Gerald Henderson’s fourth quarter dunk on Dwight Howard.

But it didn’t get them the w. The Bobcats had four attempts to win the game in the 4th and couldn’t convert any. For whatever reason, the Bobcats always give the Lakers trouble. It wasn’t a pretty win but the Lakers will take it.
