Kobe Bryant’s list of toughest players he’s faced is interesting

Los Angeles Lakers forward Larry Nance Jr. The Thunder had a six-game winning streak come to an end with a loss at Cleveland on Thursday despite big games from Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka. He says he knows who he is as a man and that he also knows what he’s trying to do for the city.

Doughty, playing his final game for Western Kentucky , spotted USF a 14-0 lead and spent much of the first half looking spotty. The South Florida defense has held 6 of 7 Conference opponents below their season scoring average, and one equaled it.

Scott said he wasn’t sure whether the dunk against the Rockets is the reason Bryant’s shoulder is sore.

The two teams would meet again in the 2001 Western semis (Lakers won, 4-0), 2002 Western semis (Lakers won, 4-1), 2003 Western semis (Spurs won, 4-2), 2004 Western semis (Lakers won, 4-2), 2008 Western finals (Lakers won, 4-1), and 2013 Western first round (Spurs won, 4-0). In 2011, the Lakers beat Scott’s post-LeBron James Cavaliers by 55 points. That’s a fact. The golden franchise is 4-23 in its worst season ever, and its 118-78 loss against the Thunder inspires little confidence.

“The Sacramento Kings in the playoffs were tough”, Bryant said next, referring to one of his team’s fiercest rivals, whom they faced and defeated in consecutive playoff series from 2000-2002. Among the group of jubilant Lakers, was rookie D’Angelo Russell.

ABOUT THE THUNDER (17-9): Durant went for 25 points against the Cavaliers and is shooting 55.7 percent from the floor over the last seven games.

The Thunder began brilliantly, riding the momentum of a Russell Westbrook to Adams alley-oop and a two-handed flush by Westbrook after a steal to knock up a 20-point advantage by the end of the first quarter.

Randle’s lay-up pulled the Lakers to 76-81 less than three minutes into the fourth quarter, but an 11-0 run gave Houston a 92-76 lead. T-Jones kept the Rockets in the lead during the third quarter when the Lakers tried to make a late game push. “You can get excited about that”, said George Belch, chairman of the San Diego State University marketing department.

Because if he had done just that, keeping things on pace with where they need to be in their young development, there would be nowhere near as much room or reason to panic. Win or lose, Bryant wants to play in all of those games because they are all he has left. “But that being said we will see how it goes”.

“My body has been through a lot, physically, its been through a lot, and then on top of the fact that it is very easy to forget that I haven’t played because of it”, he said. He entered the 2015-16 campaign having played only a combined 41 games the previous two years because of three season-ending injuries. They just played harder than we did.

“The guys on the court have to learn from it”, Scott said. “I’ve just got to get ahead of it, just rest it and come back”.
