No matter how many injuries Kobe Bryant has it never seems to slow him down. Last night Bryant was the Kobe we know as he tossed in 40 points to help the Lakers to an easy 128-107 rout of the Phoenix Suns. Bryant had it going last night and when he does he is very tough to stop. Lamar Odom added 19 points and 19 rebounds for the Lakers as well.
Amare Stoudemire scored 23 points and Steve Nash had 13 points and 13 assists for the Suns, who hadn’t lost since April 24. Robin Lopez started at center and scored 14 points in his playoff debut. The Lakers were just too much for the Suns on this night. The Suns will need to make some adjustments for Game 2 if they want to even the series.
