mArVeLoUs KoBe...

26 at the first half and 55 after the intermission for a total of 81... that was the score posted by Kobe Bryant, enough to become the player who posted the second most scored points in 1 game behind the great Wilt Chamberlin's 100 points...

prior to this game, Kobe had already the oppurtunity in their game against Dallas to beat this record where he scored 62 points in just 3 quarters but Phil Jackson decided to sit him out the rest of the game because they(Lakers) are way ahead of Dallas... but this time, where the game is close and only Kobe having the hot hand, there's no way that Phil will let him sit out... the Staple Center is roaring, everyone is chanting MVP and gets excited every time Kobe has the ball and taking the shot... even his teammates symphatize with the crowd, they kept on giving the ball into Kobe's hands...

although they win against Toronto... it was really a bad sign for the Lakers, because if not for the heroic effort of Kobe, they would have lost that game... most of them couldn't find their shots, especially Lamar Odom...
