The Lakers jumped out to a six-point lead in overtime before Chucky Atkins, who was also sent to Washington as part of the Brown-Butler deal, hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead to 108-105.
Donell Taylor's 3-pointer narrowed the gap to 109-108 with 29 seconds left before Brown rebounded a missed Bryant shot and was fouled on the putback. After his free throws put the Lakers ahead 111-108, Bryant stole the inbounds pass to clinch the win.
Washington led 59-55 at the half and was ahead 97-90 with just under five minutes in regulation before the Lakers rallied to tie it 99-99 at the end of regulation.
Early foul trouble kept Los Angeles' big men from being a factor for much of the game. Lamar Odom and Chris Mihm both had five fouls before the midway point of the third quarter and Odom fouled out with 1:31 left in overtime.
Brendan Haywood led all rebounders with 12. Odom had eight for the Lakers.
