Kobe went off in this game. He shot 18-35 as he scored 51 points. Kobe also added eight assists. The problem was that Antawn Jamison of the Warriors also caught fire. Jamison dropped 51 points himself and led the Warriors to a 125-122 victory over the Lakers.
Despite the loss, this was the first glimpse into how incredible of a scorer Kobe would become. Oh, how great it was watching Kobe Bryant drop the ball in the bucket.
