In the last game of the regular season, Kobe Bryant had one of the most efficient nights of the season. He scored 34 points in 34 minutes on 12-19 shooting from the field. Had he wanted to, he could've scored 50 in this game.
In the 1st quarter, he had 3 dunks in the first 7 minutes of the game, a very rare feat for Kobe these days. He also showed his sweet stroke from the outside. During the entire 1st half, he played a passive game while still playing very efficient. In the 2nd half, Kobe started to show his athleticism more as he had an array of incredible driving layups against the defense of Ron Artest. He topped it off with a double pump baseline shot over the entire team of Sacramento. In the entire game, he played a passive game showing that he still has the athleticism from a few years ago. Had he played aggressive, it could've been 2 consecutive 50 point games from the night before where he scored 50 points against the Sonics on 18-25 shooting.
