KB - 39 pts, 6 reb, 6 ast, 2 stl / 14-26 fg, 12-21 2pt, 2-5 3pt, 9-10 ft

Kobe and Gil duel in their Part 2 battle of the 2006-07 season. Part 1 on December 17th included the famous 60 from GA while Kobe put up 45 as the Wizards defeated the Lakers in overtime. 60 still stands as the highest total scored against the Lakers at Staples. It’s 2nd to Shaq’s 61 for most scored by a Staples opponent (Clippers included).

Part 2 saw Kobe go for 39 on an efficient 14-26. Gil got 37, but shot it poorly at 9-29. Although LA grabbed the win, it didn’t take away from Arenas’ display of fearlessness when challenged by his superstar contemporary. On multiple possessions following a Kobe score, Gil found himself guarded by Bryant and proceeded to go at him. This resulted in two very memorable plays: the killer cross layup, and the cross 4-point play. Gil shaking prime Kobe twice and scoring both times makes the cut for any Agent 0 career highlight mix.
