Kobe Bryant didn’t have his best game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. Bryant was hassled into a 3-for-15 shooting night by Oklahoma City’s team of long, athletic defenders, finishing the game with just nine points. Bryant had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but his pull-up jumper clanked off the rim. The Thunder won, 104-103, without Kevin Durant.

After the game, Lakers point guard Jeremy Lin — who scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting — offered some interesting comments on the night’s final possession:
