Summary: Yesterday afternoon a star-filled NBA battle took place between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat. The Lakers played at home and defeated the Heat 93-83, with Kobe scoring a game-high 33 points. Bryant generated his 3rd straight game with 30+ points and moved the Lakers into 4th place in the West. The loss for the Heat put them into second place in the East, behind Derrick Rose and Chicago. The Lakers were able to defeat the Heat because of their edge in big men and the fact that Kobe Bryant is arguably the best player of all time; LeBron and Wade could not handle him.
Significance: After the All-Star weekend, Kobe suffered a broken nose and concussion from an accidental play by Wade. While never clearing the NBA concussion test and having to wear a plastic mask for protection, Kobe has had three 30+ games in a row. Not only does he constantly prove his toughness, but he defeated Lebron and Wade while injured. This win is signicant for Kobe in his legacy over Lebron and for the Lakers because they showed they could beat the Heat if it came down to it in the NBA finals. Also, the game was significant because Kobe is 33 years old, injured, and clearly showing why he is the best player in the NBA.
Question: Why did the author fail to mention that LeBron did not guard Kobe?
