Yeah, yeah. I don’t want to hear about Kobe’s bad back nor his busted finger either. If he’s that broke up, don’t play; because he ran the risk of George Hill taking advantage of his ailments, and Hill did just that. In the second quarter, Hill stripped the ball at midcourt and and flushed resulting turnover down with some authority.

Meanwhile, Kobe was left writhing in the middle of the court.

As for the “don’t play” admonishment, Bryant did (or didn’t do) just that in fourth quarter — that is, he didn’t play. It sounds like those back spasms are wreaking a little havoc on Mamba. Maybe he needs to go back to high tops. As for the Spurs, they finished off the Lakers, 105-85.
