I don't know if we can see the ring. He's shaking his head, obviously, he's seeing it well and the Rockets right now are shaking their heads. Look at this right now. Look at Shane. Bader puts a hand in Kobe Bry's face. You talk about focus, knocking down shots and the Lakers are on a roll. 71% shooting for the Los Angeles Lakers. Hayes takes the change in the rotation. Kobe Bryant, who is the jump shot. Kobe Bryan just recorded a 15th first quarter completely controlling the game and that's a gigantic Los Angeles Laker lead 14 point lead at the end of one on TNT Here comes Kobe on the other side and Von waer is on him as the third third different defender. about Kobe tonight Kobe Bryant got a game high 17 for carjacking and was able to return after about 3 weeks.

Very lucky not to come close to suffering a serious injury. Here's Shannon Brown, who is now seven for 10 behind Behind The Arc in the playoff rebound. by Odum is fifth Kobe against Bad once again Gasol opens ke KY Gasol one of Doug's keys tonight points in 15 minutes you thought the start of both odoman Gasol and Gasol is delaying his part of the deal Walton lowers Kobe this is finished Bader by three Kobe Bryant has scored 20 points in the first half Here comes Brooks following the lead of landria three at the buzzer will not go and that ties the game Kobe's triple ties the game at 57 dad quickly over Kobe Bryant Kobe Bryant 10 to 16 and a game high of 22 points for the LA Lakers Bryant D on Shane Bader who commits the foul while Kobe looks at Doug Collins and says this guy can't guard me, he's 11 of 17, it's Kobe Bryant with the game max of 24 right now and much more. concentrated and obviously shaking off the effects of the sword in his throat from the other night you're going to see this here Shane takes that hand once again this time he catches it with his body looks over a KNE KNE is what you say to the one who has he's so irritated, say that to no, then you want Rockets fans to be mad at me.

I didn't tell him anything, he told me, say he'll be on fire tonight, well Brian, that's what he said, he talked to you before me. Don't give him any three-rocket pep talk, come back right on defense, dad, give Kobe a hit. Wow, Kobe Bryant is putting on a show. 26 points in 25 minutes. A spectacular display for the Lakers, with a seven-point lead. Kobe has pitched well. He took off his life jacket, launched the boat, told everyone to get on board. I'm not going to let this rocket team reach us. I mean, he's making incredible shots. Shane Bader, all he can do is put a hand in her face.

Kobe. He is the fastest athlete when he gets to the spot he can only hope he doesn't make those shots. T no, that's not the case 12 of 19 for 26 points in this series the third game overall here is a race for the wing and that goes in Doug and Kobe have 28, yes, but again with all this activity the Lakers still they were only up eight and the Lakers have to keep finding a way to get others involved, that time it will be Kobe who is in the way, but they can't sit still and Watch Kobe play, he has to be the guy who has enough energy in that last quarter.

If this rocket team gives them another push, then it can carry them. You look at these two guys, what they've done to Kobe Bryant with 21 field goal attempts. In the game I had 31 in the second game, but you know, Kevin. I said it a while ago. I told you he's trying to give his team that feeling, but I'm not going to let you lose tonight. What it reminds me of is what we talked about. In that third game of the Boston Chicago Series, when Paul Pierce came out, made his first six shots, made 13 in the first quarter and the Celtics won that game and took home court back, you look for your best player when you're in trouble like Yes he's playing well, you get a sense of security, if he's struggling, that trickles down to everyone else.

Kobe is working hard against two three defenders. Shane Bwe grabbed his jersey and I mean, Kobe is working phenetically against this defense. He's expending a ton of energy. and the Lakers from three tonight are five of 14 remember in the first game they were two of 18 well, the Rockets' goal is to keep him out of the paint keep him out of the line try to make him shots make shots under pressure Walton has four and 13 minutes Bader finds Yao, they will double wal on Cassol's fumble and they are on the Houston Rockets, they will run our test against Kobe Bryant.

He has to be very careful that he doesn't get a technique. He said he's going to leave. over here he's talking to Kobe wow here we go uh-oh, he went straight to Bryant, nice execution of our test, remember now the last time they did this. Kobe scored 18 points in the last 4 and A2 minutes of the game G Ron Artest got uh really upset I think they threw Ron Arest out of the game oh Ron Orz said Kobe punched him in the throat. Wow, this series is getting complicated to say the least, our test now out of the game, he has to make sure he leaves and goes to the locker room in a timely manner so they don't add anything to this penalty.

Well, let's go back to March 11. Kobe Bryan scored 37 points in a Lakers victory in Houston. 18 of Bryan's points came in the final 413 of the game despite some physical play from Ron stopped both R STS in the fourth quarter after they started sniping at each other, so there's history, watch what happens here, let's look under the basket, oh, it looked like Kobe caught him with a right elbow under his in the throat, that's what. What made Ron so unhappy? He now comes over and says something to Kobe. Kobe says, he gets out of here and, uh, Joey Crawford gets in there quickly, very smart to play Landry for our test.

Kobe is four of five at the free throw line tonight. 3 that? he's a text message in Reggie's mailbag on Blackberry Kobe about Bader and Kobe Bryan has a game high of 35. There's going to be a technical foul on Kobe for taunting Shane Bader by saying you can't guard me, so I tell you that the whistles at this moment are going to be. he goes to fly, he looks at Kobe as he knocks down this shot, he runs down the court and says something, you can't guard me and Joey Crawford was right there, he stops him. He sees Shane with a small shy smile on his face and the shot clock. at nine, that was a deflected pass from Kobe Bryant with Brooks behind him and Shane pushes him to just push Kobe Bryant, who just scored his career-high 37 points off turnovers fueling the Lakers' fast break, now that's 19 fast break points for the Lakers many of them off turnovers Yao Ming a careless pass with one hand off the dribble that was deflected sees Kobe Bryant cutting through the defender looking over his shoulder opportunity for a three point play gives Kobe 38 points, it will be 20 counterattacks points for the Lakers after having only 10 in the first game, so you can see the speed game of the Lakers, if they win it will be the difference that they had seven in the last quarter the other night and they played a good point.

Bader is watching. Kobe driving and dunking how the hell did he do that he passed to him

self

off the backboard that was a planned play Kevin I've seen him do that many times he's 40 he's just so hungry to get that ball I'm talking about a smart player again, not only is he a brilliant player, but he also has a brilliant mind for this great game and you see, Kobe said: I will not let us lose tonight, so this series will be tied at 1 and we will return to Houston for the games. three and four the Lakers had to win tonight.

It would have been tough to lose two games to Houston and Luke Walton is happy to be back on the court and he is a big part of this Lakers second unit. Farmar had some good minutes tonight. man of the moment 40 points for Kobe Bryant is with our Craig Seer SES well thanks dog Kobe, you said before the game that you were going to be on fire, but there are hot tempers and heated exchanges everywhere, how are you really? being tested by this Houston Rockets team, it's playoffs, you know, this is what Ron is all about, our test, obviously, very tough.

Defender at one point was ejected, he claimed that you elbowed him, what happened in that exchange, yes, we are playing basketball. there is a lot of contact and you know that if you are going to be physical you should expect the players to be physical on one of the physical plays Derek Fiser collided with Luis Skola, he was also ejected with a player, we know Fish is a tough guy, but he was a cheap shot and you were worried he might be suspended for the third game. No I didn't see it, to be honest I didn't see it, so I don't know, you talked a little bit about walking throughout the whole process. the series you wanted to be tested is this what you wanted and at what point in this game did you say hey I'm not going to let my team lose tonight from the start the board wants to be aggressive you know chase a little bit.

But you know they're testing us so you know this is when it's the most fun to be honest with you and we can't wait to get there. You are no longer the MVP. LeBron James received that award last night. How did you feel when he won and you came in second place? You know what I'm really happy that he's honest with you. You know he has worked hard and is very deserving of tonight's MVP. Congratulations. Thank you. you what to you kevin
