There was little Bryant couldn't do against the Raptors, leaving the crowd gasping with six dunks, including one over Toronto's Carlos Delfino in the second quarter and a one-handed jam in the fourth.
"He's the best one-on-one player in the league, hands down," Toronto forward Chris Bosh said. "It makes it tougher on us to help because he wasn't really selfish with the ball tonight. He played a great game."
Bryant scored 46 points to help the Lakers beat the Toronto Raptors yesterday, hours after acquiring Pau Gasol in a trade with Memphis.
"We understood that this was a game that we had to get and we came out with a lot of energy," Bryant said. "That being said, I think everybody is a little excited about the opportunity that we have in front of us."
The Lakers gave up Kwame Brown, rookie Javaris Crittenton and two first-round draft picks to get Gasol, who will play center until Andrew Bynum (left knee) is ready to return.
Gasol will undergo a physical Saturday in Los Angeles and could make his Lakers debut Sunday at Washington. The former All-Star could make the Lakers one of the NBA's elite teams.

"I don't think either team is going to sell the tape of this game as fine basketball," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. "Both teams were sloppy for a lot of the time out there. We hung in and we had an opportunity at the end to win and we were fortunate enough to do it."
