Earlier today, the Lakers learned that starting center Andrew Bynum would be out for eight to 12 weeks with a knee injury. All Kobe did tonight was set the record for most points at Madison Square Garden with 61 points to beat the Knicks.
Kobe's scoring prowess tonight was uncanny. He was hitting shots from all over the floor and even nailed all 20 of his free throw attempts. How did Kobe get loose? Well D'Antoni's strategy was to let Kobe score 34 points in the first half in hopes that he would wear down. Only he was just warming up...
For the Knicks, David Lee recorded another double-double with 24 points and 12 rebounds. It is his 36th double-double this season.
So who's up next for the Knicks? Lebron James and the Cavaliers. Lets hope the matador defense doesn't show up Wednesday night, or else Lebron could score 62.
