The New Orleans game was the best of both worlds. The Lakers methodically created a 33 point lead, 31 heading into the fourth quarter. And in one desperate quarter managed to lose most of that lead escaping 106 -98 Tuesday night. Caron Butler looked very good, as if his ankle tweak didn't bother him in the least.
One thing to note is that though Kobe is scoring a lot of points, his actual fg% isn't earning many accolades. Many of his points are coming from the foul line. Nothing states that more than last night's Tennessee bashing as Memphis bent the Lakers over every way possible with a 110 - 87 rout. Bryant shot 4 of 19 in the losing effort scoring 20 points (these stats are based off memory, feel free to correct me). I can't say a whole lot about this game because my oh-so-trustworthy sports bar that allows me to see the west coast games while living on the east coast is having second thoughts about purchasing the NBA League Pass package. The worst part is they didn't realize the free trial ended Tuesday night so they hadn't renewed their subscription meaning I saw only Nationally televised games last night.
