Kobe's hanging in there

In the week leading up to Sundays game against the Warriors Kobe had missed three of the last four games due to lingering injuries with his hand and shoulder. Prior to the Lakers 112-95 upset victory against the Warriors Kobe's only game played in the last week was against the Nuggets on Wednesday. In his last game against the Nuggets Kobe had a sub par performance due to the nagging injuries, only playing 11 minutes while scoring 5 points on two field goal attempts. The Lakers ended up losing that game 117-107. Fortunately magic was in the air on Sunday night as al the Lakers wore commemorative Kobe socks to honor the Laker legend. This magic gave them the boost they needed to up end the leagues number one team, one which is arguably one of the best in NBA history. Kobe rebounded nicely compared to his last game, recording 12 points and three assists in 24 minutes of play. His body is feeling better and he is scheduled to play in the Lakers next game on Tuesday March 8th as they take on the Orlando Magic at home.
