The All-Star break seems to have re-energized theLos Angeles Lakers.

Maybe some new players can do the same for theOklahoma City Thunder.

The two division leaders face off for the second time Sunday, and the Thunder should haveKendrick Perkins andNate Robinson available for the first time as they try to avoid losing a season-high third straight.

In possibly the most notable deal during the week of the trade deadline other thanCarmelo Anthony going to New York, Oklahoma City (36-21) got Perkins and Robinson from Boston forJeff Green,Nenad Krstic and a first-round pick.

The addition of Perkins, known as one of the league's top defensive big men, has Los Angeles especially on alert. The Lakers trailed 3-2 in last year's NBA finals before Perkins hurt his knee in Game 6, and the Celtics lost the series in seven.

"You know how I feel about Perk, how much respect I have for him defensively on the floor and how he plays,"Kobe Bryant said of Perkins, whose knee injury caused him to miss all but 12 games this season.

Oklahoma City making that move was a bit of a surprise considering Green was a major contributor for a team which has the fourth-best record in the Western Conference, one spot behind Los Angeles (41-19). The Lakers didn't make any trades even though there were concerns for the two-time defending NBA champions before the break after they dropped three in a row.

However, Los Angeles has come out strong, winning three straight -- two by double digits -- and reaching at least 104 points in each while shooting 49.6 percent. During the three-game skid, they averaged 87.7 points and shot 41.8 percent.

"We're executing our game plan, moving the ball, doing the things that we do to win,"Shannon Brown said after a 108-95 win over theLos Angeles Clipperson Friday. "It's not about the individuals, it's about the whole team and everyone's been on the same page for the most part."

Bryant scored 18 of his 24 points in the decisive third quarter despite banging his funny bone in the second. Though he couldn't fully extend his elbow after the game, Bryant said he didn't expect it to be a problem Sunday.
