The Los Angeles Lakers broke their eight-game losing streak when Kobe Bryant scored 20 of his 32 points in the second half to beat the road-weary New York Knicks 117-107 Tuesday night.
Stephon Marbury's 45 points were 10 points short for the Knicks who also lost on Monday at Oakland.
Caron Butler added 26 points for Los Angeles. Devean George, playing just his third game of the season, had 18 points and Chucky Atkins scored 12 for the Lakers.

Los Angeles Lakers guard took a recent shot at Kobe Bryant the other day when asked what moves he would make in the offseason to improve the struggling Lakers.
"I ain't the GM of this team," Atkins told the Los Angeles Times. "Kobe's the GM of this team. Ask Kobe. You've been watching this [stuff] all year. You've been watching it and I've been playing it."
Atkins has reportedly been frustrated with Bryant’s criticisms of his defensive play and Bryant’s numerous shots hoisted up every game.
Atkins told the Times "it was hard to play with anybody that's a star" when asked how it was to play with Bryant.
