LOS ANGELES, (Reuters) – Often criticised by Los Angeles Lakers fans for being a ‘ball hog’, Kobe Bryant played the role of facilitator to perfection on Wednesday as the NBA champions levelled their playoff series with New Orleans.
Bryant ended the night with a meagre 11 points on three-for-10 shooting from the field, spending much of his time creating and also defending dangerous Hornets guard Chris Paul, who ran the Lakers ragged in Game One on Sunday.
