It was nice to see Kobe play like himself when he played against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was scoring points the way he always does, but he also got a career high in assists. Kobe made the Lakers so much better that game because he was the facilitator. It was really good because Kobe causes a lot of attention on offense. It was fun watching because I would watch Kobe get double teamed and he would pass it to the open man right away for the easy shot.
8 of his assists were made by Jordan Hill. It was a perfect play for the Lakers to do. Kobe would come down the court and Jordan Hill would screen Kobe Bryant's man. Once they do that, Hill's man will follow Kobe since he is so good on defense. Kobe would then pass it to Hill for the mid-range shot.
Kobe kept the game close. He is only limited 32 minutes a game because he is getting old. The Lakers couldn't overcome the Cav's during crunch-time though. It was a great game for Kobe and the Lakers. They are doing bad this season, but it didn't look like it in that game.
Kobe played awesome that game! I was amazed and happy that he got his career high in assists. Jordan Hill also did an awesome job rolling after he screened. Hill was on fire that game! I did not like the fact that Kobe was held at 32 minutes a game. The Lakers could have done so much better if Kobe was able to play more minutes. Good post.
