Kobe Bryant Had a Nightmare Finish Against the Wizards

The Washington Wizards beat the Los Angeles Lakers 111-95 on Wednesday night. The game was actually closer than that score indicates as Kobe Bryant hit two free throws to cut the Wizards lead to four points with just 2:04 remaining in the 4th quarter. That’s when things fell apart for Kobe and the Lakers.

John Wall hit a jump shot. Kobe answered by going pickup game hero with some sweet between-the-legs crossovers before launching a long three that missed. That miss led to a fastbreak dunk for Marcin Gortat. Kobe followed that with an out-of-control turnover that turned into another fastbreak dunk for the Wizards. Kobe then missed a jumper and threw the ball away again before the grand finale – fouling John Wall as he banked in a 3-pointer with 11-seconds on the clock in a 12-point game.

All Kobe could do was help Wall up as he did a little shimmy. It was peak bad Kobe. It was delightful.
