Too much Kobe
Posted by pistonsnation
[box score] I need some more coffee. These late games kick my butt. I wish the Pistons could have gotten back to their winning ways, but overall I wasn’t disappointed with their play.
Not to take anything away from the Pistons, they played well, they just had the unfortunate task of catching a Lakers team at the Staples that was coming off consecutive losses.
Kobe Bryant was on his game after having two sub-Kobe games in the Laker’s losses. Kobe dropped in 40 the World Champs, marking the 100th time he’s scored 40 or more in a game.
The Pistons, down by as many as 28 in the game, made a valiant attempt at a fourth quarter comeback led by Will Bynum who had 10 of his team high 24 points in the 4th.
Last night was one of Jason Maxiell’s better showings of the season. Max scored scored 13, with 7 boards and a pair of steals.
GAME NOTES: CV31 went 1/6 in 23 minutes … The Lakers have not lost 3 straight since Pau Gasol joined the team … DaJuan Summers got 12 minutes scoring 2 points … This is the first time in four years the Pistons failed to beat the defending champs on their floor … The Lakers’ victory gives Phil Jackson 1,049 for his career, moving him past Larry Brown for 6th on the all-time list …

Plus Maxiell had that sick block on the MSU kid. Naughty baby eater.
