Kobe Bryant Missed-Shots 2014
The Indiana Pacers will travel to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers tonight. The Lakers are coming off a tough loss against the Grizzlies on Friday night. Kobe Bryant was unable to hit the game tying three, and has taken a beaten in the media for it.
Tonight’s matchup will not be the first time these two teams met this season. The Pacers beat the Lakers 110-91 a few weeks ago.
In the Lakers last game Jeremy Lin and Ed Davis played very well. Both players scored 20 points in the loss. Since Bryant rested for a few games he has came back a completely different player. He recorded a triple double against the Denver Nuggets, and came close to recording another against the Grizzlies.
With Bryant playing a more complete game, his shot attempts have gone down significantly. Lakers head coach Byron Scott has mixed feelings about the lessen attempts according to ESPN.com.
It’s been interesting, because he’s really trying to keep his (shot) numbers down,” Scott said. “I can’t argue with the results. He’s getting everybody involved, still rebounding the ball and he’s still being aggressive. I would like his shots to be a little bit more, but I can’t argue with the way he’s playing.”
With Scott’s recent comments to the media it will be interesting to see how Kobe comes out and attacks tonight.
On the other hand, the Pacers are on a two game winning streak. They beat the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night in the first game of their four game road trip. Roy Hibbert scored 18 points in the victory.
The Pacers have had their fair share of struggles so far this season but still find themselves in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race. With a win they will tie their season high winning streak at three.
