Kobe walks the line, steps on Jazz May 5, 2008
Posted by klao8 in Sports.trackback
The MVP kobe bryant, sank 21 of his 23 foul shots to lead the Lakers past the Jazz in their series opener. He scored 38 as he established a franchise playoff record in free throws, all thanks to the Utah Jazz!
There is a lot of history between these two teams, especially back when Kobe was starting out as a Laker and Karl Malone was still getting mail from John stockton. hahaha Utah eliminated the lakers before bowing out to the Micheal Jordan led Bulls in the finals. Now it seems that time has brought back history but this time there are new characters (much older, wiser) and new story line is unfolding.
Utah will regroup after a poor shooting performance from their star point guard D.williams. Credit goes to D.Fish for a fantastic display of defense, 6 steals. But even though the win goes to the Lakers there is still room for improvement. Utah out rebounded the Lakers tallying 25 offensive boards. Lakers bigs (odom and gasol) needs to crash the boards on game 2.
the series has just begun… stay tuned
