Kobe Bryant puts up 34 points in a heart breaking game for the lakers and Lakers fans. The Lakers did win against the Golden State Warriors, but Kobe Bryant goes down in the fourth quarter with what was later diagnosed as a ruptured achilles tendon. Kobe being the fighter he is went to the free throw line and knocked down both free throws and then walked off the court.

Kobe is out for 6-9 months meaning the season is over for Kobe so what are the Lakers to do without their best player. Well the Lakers did not allow this to discourage them. They went on to beat Golden State and then they continued on and knocked off the San Antonio Spurs. The Lakers now lead the Jazz by 1 game for 8th place in the West. Hopefully the Lakers can hold on and clinch that 8th seed with a victory in their final math up against the Houston Rockets.
