As if tonight’s highlight was going to be anything but Kobe.
Bryant turned back the clock with a great fadeaway jumper at the free-throw line in the third quarter, making it look like DeMar DeRozan hasn’t studied his idol all that well, after all.

There’s no more fitting play for a Bryant send-off than that. For what it’s worth, the Air Canada Centre crowd has done him right tonight, giving him multiple loud ovations. Internal conflicts loom with a 71-71 tie entering the fourth. Bryant has a 12-8-3 without objectionable shot selection.
