Kobe Bryant had a points-turnovers double-double as the Lakers lost in Phoenix to the Suns.
You may be surprised to know that spot-up jump shots are the largest overall component of the Suns offense. While nearly every Suns play begins with a pick-and-roll, more of them culminate with a kick-out to an open spot-up than either Nash or the roll man taking the shot.
The Phoenix Suns lost to Kobe Bryant again tonight, but in the larger scheme of things the Suns have won the war. No matter how hard Kobe tries to erase May 6, 2006 from his memory banks, it will never go away.
Come on Suns! Shake off those second quarter blues... 15 TOs? No big deal! 1-7 from 3? Nah. 13 PFs? Nope. The big deal is that the Suns are going to come out TIRED OF LOSING after a bad second...
