It was another Kobe Bryant Special as LA Lakers registered a huge 132-128 win over Sacramento Kings in the NBA Thursday night game in Sacramento. The Lakers started pretty well but blew up a huge 21 point lead to be staring down the barrel with 4 seconds left in the fourth quarter. But it took a super gamble from star player Kobe Bryant to level the game with 0.1 sec left and then inspire them to a overtime win.
Lakers fortunes seemed to be in the opposite direction of Kobe who overcame the first 16 minutes of draught to score 42 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists. This was Kobe’s sixth forty plus score of the season as he looks in ominous form heading towards the all-star night.
In what was expected to be a Kobe show for his magical play in the dying moments of the fourth quarter, Kobe showed that he had more than exceptional basketball skills to pull off a tie in regular time and push the dame into OT. With 4 seconds left everyone expected to take the last throw, even his rivals were confident of that but Kobe showed exceptional presence of mind and trust in his mate Smush Parker to feed him the final ball who scored and tied the game. What happened in OT remains a history and remains left is the magic of Kobe Bryant.
