Every now and then,
Kobe Bryant gives one of those highlight-worthy performances that causes the crowd to be like, "DAMN!"
Late in the first quarter of the
Los Angeles Lakers' 107-102 loss to the
Clippers at Staples Center, Bryant took advantage of a
Chris Paul turnover with a steal and then attacking from the left side of the court with a monster dunk with the right hand over Paul, who was trying to prevent the inevitable.
Stat-wise, it was another night at the office for Bryant, as he finished with 38 points. However, it wasn’t enough to knock off Paul and the red-hot Clippers. The Clippers improved to 25-8 on the season while the Lakers fell to 15-17 as they continue to search for some sort of consistency in the win column.
Here's the dunk:
