Kobe Bryant, the good, the great and Eagle
Not long after the Los Angeles Lakers won in Denver on Tuesday, a holiday-season miracle in its own right, someone asked if he’d be ready for Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

DeMar DeRozan poured in 28 points and Kyle Lowry had a double double – 17 points and 10 rebounds – as the Toronto Raptors overcame the Dallas Mavericks 103-99.
OAKLAND, Calif. – Klay Thompson scored 20 points, Stephen Curry added 16 with 9 assists and the Golden State Warriors remained unbeaten at home with a victory over the Utah Jazz.
As disappointing as the twin debacles were, Kobe wasn’t surprised. I mean, you know, I don’t really consider it much of a tour.
Wednesday’s game marked the first time Bryant faced Durant and the Thunder since he announced his plans to retire after the season back in November.
After ending the first half on a 14-2 run, Oklahoma City started the third quarter with a 22-0 burst that finally ended on Bryant’s reverse layup with 6:21 left until the fourth. The run at the end of the half was fueled by Westbrook, who had eight points and three assists in the second quarter alone.
Bryant had a rough first quarter with Durant guarding him. But when Bryant kept missing shots and his team kept trailing, it is surprising that at some point, he did not decide to stop taking shots.
Bryant has scored the most points in NBA All-Star Game history with 280 and trails only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (19) for most All-Star selections. In his last four games, though, he is averaging 25 points on 50.7 percent accuracy.
For a night, Bryant was vintage Bryant again. The damn cat is not going to bark.
Nance entered the game averaging 4.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in 19 minutes per game. “There’s no sense in yelling at it”.
On Tuesday, Bryant had arguably his best performance of the year in a win over the Denver Nuggets: 31 points on 10-22 shooting, three rebounds, five assists, a block, and a steal. Ross then closed it out with a couple of free throws.
And the result of Scott being the head coach is the Lakers being the worst team in the West, 29th best in the league offensively with 96.9 points per 100 possession and the worst team in the National Basketball Association defensively, and that’s with a self-proclaimed defensive expert on the sidelines, giving up a league worst 109.2 points per 100 possessions.

The Denver Nuggets began the first quarter in great fashion, and finished the period with 34 points. Julius Randle sat out because of a sore ankle and Nick Young was absent too (intestinal flu-like symptoms). He battled it out against them and, now, he revealed the top National Basketball Association players and teams he has ever played with.
