Andrew Bynum had 29 points and 13 rebounds in his season debut following a four-game suspension that carried over from the playoffs, and the Lakers beat the Denver Nuggets, 92-89, on Saturday afternoon at Staples Center.Bynum shot 13 for 18 from the field, helping the Lakers win their third straight following the team's first 0-2 start since 2002-03.
The 7-foot center was suspended without pay for the first four games of the season because of a flagrant foul against Dallas point guard J.J. Barea in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals. The original ban was five games, but it was reduced on Dec. 23 as a result of a shortened schedule caused by the NBA lockout.
Kobe Bryant, bogged down by foul trouble, had 17 points along with nine assists and 10 rebounds. The Lakers overcame 2-for-24 shooting from three-point range.
