OAKLAND, California (Ticker) -- With a crowd of 19,273 chanting "Beat LA," Antawn Jamison pretty much did that by himself. For the second straight game, Jamison scored 51 points, including eight in overtime, as the Golden State Warriors overcame a career-best 51 points by Kobe Bryant for a 125-122 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Jamison shot an unconscious 21-of-29 from the field and became the first Warrior since Rick Barry in 1967 to post consecutive 50-point games. The 6-9 forward was a perfect 9-of-9 in the fourth quarter and overtime as Golden State rallied from an 11-point deficit and stopped a six-game losing streak against the Lakers. "Everything he threw up seemed to go in but they just played with a lot more enthusiasm than we did," said Los Angeles center Shaquille O'Neal about Jamison. "Our guys looked kind of tired. It's very disappointing. We're supposed to beat a team like this 50 out of 50 times but they were pumped up for us. They played with a lot of enthusiasm, and they got one." Jamison is the first player in the league with consecutive 50-point outings since Michael Jordan did it three straight games on April 12-16, 1987. The Warriors took the lead for good at 122-120 when Jamison sank a 20-footer with 64 seconds remaining. Bryant, who was 18-of-35 from the field, tried to drive against a double-team and was stripped by Bob Sura. "It's very hurtful," said Bryant about the loss. "We didn't play good defense after coming off a game last night where we played excellent team defense. Tonight we didn't do that at all. You feel so bad. You give it your all to win a ballgame and you come up short. It just hurts like hell. It was a difficult game for us. There were a lot of calls that didn't go our way. We felt the officials missed a lot of calls down the stretch but that's just part of the game." Larry Hughes took an outlet pass from Sura and after getting fouled, made two free throws for a 124-120 advantage with 42 seconds left. "As a team I think we were real confident," Hughes said. "We had the lead then lost it, got it back then lost it again. We were in a rhythm. We were doing things we set out to do. It worked out for us." The Lakers answered right back with Bryant making a fallaway jumper and had a chance to tie the game after Jamison threw away a pass. But Horace Grant missed a turnaround jumper and Bryant's follow shot bounced off the rim before Jamison pulled down his 13th rebound. Sura made one free throw with 2.5 seconds left for a 125-122 lead and Los Angeles inbounded to O'Neal, who tapped the ball back to Bryant. His desperation 3-pointer from well beyond the arc fell short, and the Lakers lost for just the fourth time in 21 games with the Warriors. On Sunday, Jamison became the first player in more than three years to lose a 50-point game. Bryant, who raised his league-leading scoring average to just under 30 points per game, joined him three days later. "This one feels better because we won," said Jamison referring to Monday's loss to the Seattle SuperSonics. "It was just one of those feelings that was good to have. We're a young team. We have to find ways to play through things. We're a great basketball team, we just have to find ways to win games." The last time two players scored at least 50 points in a game was December 14, 1962 when Wilt Chamberlain scored 63 points for the Warriors against the Lakers, who got 51 points from Elgin Baylor. Ron Harper, who had 10 rebounds and 10 assists, made a follow shot to cap a 10-3 burst and give Los Angeles an 85-75 lead with 2:32 remaining in the third. The Lakers pushed the margin to 92-81 when Bryant hit a 3-pointer with 29 seconds left. Jamison's jumper with 4:20 left in the fourth ignited a 12-3 run and pulled the Warriors within 104-97. After misses by O'Neal and Bryant, Jamison took a pass from Mookie Blaylock and drove for a layup with 3:36 remaining. O'Neal, who was 3-of-6 from the free throw line, made a foul shot with 3:14 left, but was called for goaltending on Jamison's hook shot 13 seconds later to cut the deficit to 105-101. "Well, we just couldn't get ourselves defensively set up in that fourth quarter to play ball," Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson said. "They got a few breaks going for them and did a terrific job. Jamison was almost unstoppable tonight." Bryant tipped a jump ball out of bounds and Blaylock sank a 19-footer to pull Golden State within 105-103 with 2 1/2 minutes left. Bryant made a fallaway jumper with 2:09 left, but the Warriors again answered as Hughes sank two free throws 12 seconds later. O'Neal was called for a flagrant foul when he stepped into the lane to stop a driving Vonteego Cummings with 1:33 left. Cummings made both shots to tie the score, but had his jumper swatted by O'Neal and the Warriors could not get another shot off before the shot clock expired. Each team had chances to take the lead. Bryant missed a jumper from the top of the key with 65 seconds left and 22 seconds later Jamison drove for a one-handed jumper. But the basket was negated when he was whistled for charging. Bryant missed 19-footer with 22 seconds left and Cummings missed a driving layup with 3.2 seconds to play. The Lakers had a chance to set a final play, but Bryant's jumper from the top of the arc hit off the front of the rim as the buzzer sounded. Hughes had 24 points and handed out nine assists for the Warriors, who shot 52 percent (49-of-94). O'Neal had 25 points and 10 boards, but just six points and one rebound in the fourth period and overtime.
