Halftime: Lakers Lead 46-44, Reggie Miller Again Makes No Sense

We’ve reached halftime in Cleveland, and led by Kobe Bryant’s 20 points, the Lakers lead the Cavaliers 46-44. The Lakers jumped out to a big early lead, hoping to make a statement after the Cavaliers blew the Lakers out in LA on Christmas Day, but the Cavs have crawled back into the game.

LeBron James has 18 points, including one wicked move on Kobe at the end of the quarter. James drove left and made a really quick spin back right as Kobe went sprawling on the floor. Bryant tripped James to foul him instead of conceding the layup, so James got two free throws.

Here, see for yourself.


Of course, Reggie Miller defended Kobe getting crossed up, saying Kobe merely was “off-balanced,” so it’s not the same. Right. Because when someone normally gets crossed up, they do much more than lose balance. Oh-kay.

This one’s been as good as advertised. Stay tuned.
