Well, the crowd at FedEx Forum got a gem tonight.
Even though the Grizz lost, what an incredible game.
Kobe Bryant drove to the basket for a layup with 8 seconds left and the Lakers down by two. His shot was blocked by Marc Gasol and then Rudy Gay, not expecting the shot to be blocked, swatted it again.
This time the ball bounced behind the backboard and hit the shot clock. Out of bounds, Laker ball. Then, on the inbounds play, Kobe Bryant broke free after a Gay misplay and a Pau Gasol pick to hit the game-winning 3-pointer.
O.J. Mayo got the chance at a last second 19-foot fade-away, but the shot was long and bounced off the back of the rim.
*Zach Randolph passed Pau Gasol's previous franchise record for offensive rebounds in a season. Randolph(252) had 20 points and 14 rebounds to break Gasol's previous record of 238.
