Even with a torn ligament in his right
wrist our Kobe stole the show last evening.
Playing against the Phoenix Suns, he made
48 points in the game.
It was incredible to watch. He made 23 points
in the first half and then ran away with the
scoring during the fourth quarter.
It was Bryant's 108th career game of 40 or
more points.
Not coincidentally, the Lakers have won three
in a row now and four of five games.
Last night was a sell out crowd of 18,997 too.
The Lakers started the game by making only
5 of their first 15 shots, but then sank 7 of
their next 11. Bryant was 18 of 31 from the floor
and made 12 of 13 free throws.
Pau Gasol added 16 points and 12 rebounds.
The Lakers had 15 turnovers after turning
the ball over 27 times in a 90-82
win against Memphis just 2 nights earlier..
Score for the Suns and Lakers game was 99-83.
This last game was the first of 18 back to
back sets the Lakers will play in this
lockout-shortened season. Three players
were not out on the courts due to some
ailments and a twin birth for Jason Kapono
and his wife. Shannon Brown (Former Laker)
played against our team this time with the
Phoenix Suns, so it was a bit emotional for him.
Our superstar Kobe came through for us
and we thank him for answering the call.
