This was an UNBELIEVABLE game. For anyone that didn't see the game, you REALLY missed out. I applaud Sacramento for coming out in the second half and fighting to the very end. They made some bad mistakes, such as letting time run out before they foul when the shot clock wasn't even in effect anymore. But Mike Bibby was HUGE tonight. He hit some incredibly clutch shots. Kevin Martin did a very solid job tonight offensively, Ron Artest kind of struggled, and I didn't think Abdur-Rahim did a very good job. Corliss Williamson was awesome off the bench, though.Kobe Bryant - all I can say is that I am blessed to be growing up in this era with the privilege of being able to watch him. He is unbelievable, words can't even describe it. He passed the ball extremely well tonight (that feed to Smush to force OT was beautiful) and he made some big shots and free throws (as well as miss one, doh!). Brian Cook made a big impact tonight, especially in the first half (first quarter, really). Luke Walton played very well and he made the right decisions. I agree 100% with Barkley about Bynum: GET AGGRESSIVE! I don't care what his stat line looked like tonight, he was not aggressive at all and he did not take advantage of his size on guys like Kenny Thomas and Shareef.Great game, very entertaining, and a great win for the Lakers.

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">Fun game. I somewhat can't believe the Lakers blew a 21 point lead like that.</span>
I just re-watched the 4th quarter and overtime of the game...and the layup that got us into overtime where kobe passed it to smush was never recorded as an assist. Kobe should have had 10 assists and he should have been recorded a triple double. Way to go Kings stat keepers. :thumbdn1:
