{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Derek Fisher knocked down a three-pointer 70 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday night.
Fisher's go-ahead shot, from the right side over Dirk Nowitzki, was the only three-pointer the Lakers made in the game.
Vince Carter's three-point try at the buzzer for Dallas clanked off the back of the rim.

Andrew Bynum had 17 points and 15 rebounds to lead the Lakers, who bounced back to win for the sixth time in seven games. They extended their home win streak to nine games since a season-opening loss to Chicago.
Fisher scored nine of LA's final 13 points while Kobe Bryant had 14 points on just 7-of-22 shooting.
