Kobe Dominates Nuggets

The Lakers took a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series against the Denver Nuggets, behind a spectacular 49-point 10-assist performance from Kobe Bryant. Kobe had, what I would say, his greatest career playoff game. Kobe dropped 20 points in the first quarter (two shy of franchise record), 5 points in each of the middle quarters and then topped it off with a 19 point fourth quarter. All series long the Denver Nuggets have been jawing with Kobe on the court and it will end up being their downfall. There is absolutely no reason to try to get Kobe riled up for a game. The Lakers have dominated the first two games and now seem as if they are poised for a sweep.
