The game after he scored 65 points, he dropped another 50. The game after that he dropped 60. When will this tear end? Probably soon just due to the law of averages but damn isn’t it exciting? The worst part of Mamba’s tear and the Laker’s winning streak is the fact that it seems that Kobe needs to score large amounts of points to keep them on this roll. This doesn’t bode well for L.A. and when he steps up against a playoff calibre team with actual defenders, look for his number to drop back to his normal high 20s range. Still not bad, but it’s no 50.
