Three of the top four scorers of the 2007-08 regular season all drop 30+ to open up this western conference 1st round series. It was a high scoring, entertaining game with lots of trash talk. Kobe got off to a slow start but picked it up as the game wore on. He scored 28 points in the 2nd half, including 18 in the 4th quarter alone. You could say this was a sneak peak into what was coming in game 2...

    A 50 win 8th seed is absolutely ridiculous

    Watching these old games really puts into perspective how much the game has changed.. so few 3’s taken compared to now, way more midrange

    Miss Kobe so much he meant a lot to me growing up
  • Kobe and Gasol had some of the greatest chemistry I’ve seen in my life time. Outstanding role players the Lakers had during those championships. Great memories

    it's barely known that Iverson had long prime years 99-08, he was 33 at that time but he had best efficient scoring in his career with less ball touch.

    Man.. i miss Kleiza. A true hooper, it's a shame injuries ruined him, but those few years at Denver were special
