After playing Saturday night against the Utah Jazz with stomach problems, Kobe returned tonight healthy sporting a splint on his fractured index finger. Nothing like starting this four-game road trip with a win over the Chicago Bulls.
Kobe Bryant scored 42 points, 20 of which were in the first quarter 25 in the half against single coverage as Los Angeles built a 54-48 lead. Pau gasol who had another big rebounding night scored 10 points and 16 rebounds.
Andrew Bynum added 11 points, Shannon Brown scored seven of his nine in the fourth as Los Angeles came away with the win.
Stay tuned for Wednesday night when the Lakers fly up to Milwaukee to battle the Bucks

Good win for the Lakers, excellent play by the whole team, especially Kobe. They say the magics have the best bench in the league, which i totally disagree with, but even if they did there starters dont match up with ours, and as far as Boston, they dont have the bench to compete with our. They are old and can not go 7 with the Lakers. BEST TEAM IN THE NBA BY FAR! KOBE BRYANT FOR MVP!

He probably could’ve dropped 42 with the lefty.
