No need of Bryant magic to beat Celtics
The extremely popular Kobe Bryant was impressed with the Los Angeles Lakers’ 53-minute effort in last night’s 110-109 overtime victory against the Celtics at TD Banknorth Garden.
The only player missing from Bryant’s glowing flow of accolades was himself.
Indeed, after scoring a Madison Square Garden-record 61 points against the Knicks on Monday and 36 against Toronto on Wednesday, the talented Kobe shot an uninspired 10-of-29 from the floor for 26 points against the Celts. The guard did hit 4-of-6 treys in the fourth quarter to salvage a modicum of self-satisfaction.
“I shot the ball like crap for three-and-a-half quarters,” Bryant noticed. “It’s funny, but that’s how the clash goes. You miss 15-footers all night and suddenly you start knocking down 25-footers. That’s what happened to me. I know at the time I have clashs like this from experience, down the stretch those long shots tend to fall and the easy ones don’t.
“It’s just weird, I don’t know why that happens.”
As we know, the Lakers are now 2-0 against the squad that humiliated them in clash 6 of the NBA Finals to clinch the title last June. Both triumphs were significant because they squelched extended winning streaks by the Celtics. The C’s had won 19 in a row before losing 92-83 at Staples Center on Christmas. The Celts had won 12 straight before last night.
It’s important to say that Bryant understands that besting the Celtics at the Garden on a frigid February night doesn’t make up for last season, but he did realize a small sense of satisfaction.
“Just coming down the same streets and being in the same hotel, it all came back,” Bryant expressed. “I didn’t get to sleep last night until about 6 o’clock this morning because I was up thinking about the clash. I remember being in this position and thinking about my squadmates. How would they respond and would they be ready?
“I was very pleased to see the effort and how much guys wanted it.”
Lakers coach Phil Jackson counts on Bryant to contain Celts point guard Rajon Rondo [stats] in these clashs. The two engaged in a lot of give-and-take that eventually got out of hand at 9:01 of the third quarter. Both players were issued technical fouls at the time it looked like their dispute would grow beyond verbal jabs.
“There was a little talking back and forth, a little bumping and hitting, and it was good,” Bryant expressed. “Bring it on, that’s the statement I wanted to send, and if it was worth me getting a technical foul because of it so be it.”
Unstoppable Kobe crushes Nicks with 60 personal points
Every body in the stadium know what Kobe can do in a inspired day. That’s why Bryant scored 61 points last night to set a record at the current Madison Square Garden and lead the Lakers over the Knicks, 126-117.
"It's a blessing to do what you love and have moments like this," Bryant expressed.
It's especially gratifying at the time your moment is etched into the history of one of the most famous basketball stages of all time.
Bernard King used to hold the record at the current Garden for most points in an NBA clash with 60, which he scored on Christmas Day 1984 in a losing effort against the Nets. The previous opponents' mark was the memorable "double-nickels" performance by Michael Jordan, wearing No. 45 and his old Air Jordans, in his first clash back at the Garden after his comeback on March 28. 1995. Kobe's pal LeBron scored 50 points at the Garden on March 5, 2008.
Indeed, like Michael Jordan's clash in '95, the sellout crowd of 19,763 fans last night roared for Bryant in the typical way the Garden faithful treats basketball royalty. He also was serenaded with chants of "MVP!" as he walked off the court, finger in the air, with 1:48 left in the clash.
"These are nights at the time Kobe's on fire," Phil Jackson expressed. "He burns hot."
There was something different about this burn. Bryant was all business from his first shot, a pull-up 44 seconds into the clash, and methodically went through Knicks defenders, from Quentin Richardson to Jared Jeffries to Wilson Chandler. And the Knicks could feel it, too. Kobe has had these assassin-like performances before, but he's usually loose.
"First time he stepped on the court, he didn't say nothing," Nate Robinson expressed. "He usually says 'Hi,' but today he was focused, in the zone. So we knew something was up."
The popular and talented Bryant scored 18 points in the first quarter and had 34 by halftime. His 40th point came on a free throw with 5:32 left in the third. The 50th also came on a foul shot with 6:06 left in the clash, which drew a roar from the Garden crowd. The 60th also came from the line with 2:33 left.
He was 20-for-20 from the line and shot 19-for-31 from the floor in the clash, with three assists and one blocked shot for the Lakers (38-9).
It was such an incredible performance that it made Pau Gasol's 31 points and 14 rebounds almost an afterthought. It was one of the most incredible 92-point combinations ever seen at the Garden.
The Knicks (21-26) lost for the first time at home in six clashs. Al Harrington led the way with 24 points and David Lee had 22 points and 12 rebounds for his 36th double-double this season and 11th straight.
As we know, Mike D'Antoni's squad hung in there for most of the first half, but the clash started to slip away late in the third quarter and the Knicks fell behind by as many as 20 points in the fourth.
"We're not there yet," D'Antoni expressed of his squad, which has two more battles against elite squads this week. The Celtics are in town Friday to complete the week.
Everyone had to start somewhere. Bryant's first-ever clash at the Garden was Nov. 8, 1996. The then-18-year-old prodigy scored just one point.
"I sucked," he expressed. "I remember coming in and being nervous as heck. Wearing 80 pounds soaking wet and having to guard John Wallace . . . My career has somehow progressed from there for sure."
Kobe's career high is 81 points, which he scored against the Toronto Raptors on Jan. 22, 2006. His previous high against the Knicks was 46 points almost six years ago to the day, on Feb. 6, 2003.
