Los Angeles Lakers forward Kobe Bryant (24) goes up for a shot as…

Now that Kobe Bryant’s final All-Star game is in the books, tickets for his last game are in high demand.

But unlike many times before, Bryant could not deliver late in the game. The Spurs finished.54.5 percent from the field, and are 25-0 when shooting.

“Guys played well. I thought guys played confident, guys took shots that were there, didn’t try to force anything”, said Aldridge, who had 12 points in the second half, 10 of those coming in the fourth quarter. “(Duncan) and I had he opportunity to have some great dialogue tonight. Parker scored a team-high 25 points, with seven of his teammates also breaking double-digit scoring. A four-point play by Williams with 5:44 left and a turnaround jumper by Bryant nearly a minute later pulled the Lakers within 101-97.

Gilbert Arenas, once known as “Agent Zero”, has hatched a plan to watch the Kobe Bryant and fans say goodbye to each other.

The Lakers started to gain some momentum as we approached the final minutes of the game and ended up cutting the Spurs lead to just four with four minutes to go. “I’ve truly, truly enjoyed it. They’ve pushed me to really fine-tune and sharpen my game”. It’s been so much fun competing against him in that organization. Popovich called both players “iconic figures”. “There will be some of those games where he’s not on the floor”.

With Kobe’s final goodbye drawing closer by the instant, Arenas may have to shell out the cash in order to get his wish. “You’re going to have those times where it brings a big smile on your face because you’re happy and then you’ve got those times where you want to get the belt out and you can’t do that now, whip their butt a little bit”, he said with a smile. Keep in mind that Pollard played for the Sacramento Kings when they were in a heated rivalry with the Lakers. Leonard, the team’s leading scorer at 20.2 points per game, hadn’t missed a game this season until sitting out Thursday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
