Kobe Bryant turns back the clock, ices Wizards with pair of dagger shots

by Whitney Medworth
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports

Don't count Kobe out just yet. He may be on his farewell tour, but that isn't gonna stop him from hitting TWO huge shots to keep the Lakers alive against the Wizards and eventually get the Lakers a win. Kobe went off for 5 points in 28 seconds, including a huge three to put Lakers up 101-99.

Then immediately after a Washington basket, Kobe goes for the iso and the lead:

Vintage Kobe ended the night with 31 points and a great farewell to Washington as Washington said goodbye with “KOBE!” chants.
