Kobe Bryant 39 points 9 asts. vs Hawks 2005-06 *30 feet shot

Kobe Bryant was on the cold streak that February averaging a mere 28 points per game and having played well in only 3 games that month. After the 81 point game, he was constantly getting doubled within striking distance, which was from the free throw line of the opponent's basket. Zones were being geared towards him and he was being doubled off the ball. It didn't stop him from breaking out in this game. In the game, he shot 14-28 from the field, 5-14 from downtown for 39 points and added 9 assists along with 2 steals.

Kobe had one of the more quiet 40(39) point games of the season. He started the game scoring 11 points in the 1st quarter along 4 assists. Never in the game did he look to be aggressive and score points in an onslaught. He didn't force too much either shooting very good shot attempts, until the end of the game. However, Kobe Bryant and his Lakers shot themselves in the foot shooting a flimsy 55% from the free throw line. It was even more detriment to the team when they shot a dismal 6-15 from the free throw line in the 4th quarter when their lead slipped away. Eventually, the Lakers scored a very disappointing loss to the Hawks losing by 4 due to clumsy play at the end and lack of defense while wasting a 39 point effort by Kobe.

Other Notes:
Kobe Bryant had the famous 30 feet double clutch desperation three to beat the shot clock in this game in the 3rd quarter that showed his unlimited range. As Hubie Brown said, "Range is not a factor for Kobe."

Kobe shot 6-12 from the free throw line and could've had a 45 point line.

I cant believe that Smush Parker acutally said that the problems with the lakers "start and end with kobe" the Lakers probably would have been better off playing with only four players than having smush on the court
