NBA -- Kobe leads Lakers rout over Maccabi


PhilBoxing.com




LOS ANGELES -- ​Kobe Bryant​ scored 21 points in 19 minutes to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to 126-83 rout over Maccabi Haifa of Israel on Sunday night at Staples Center.

The 37-year old Bryant, who is about to enter his 20th NBA season, made 6-of-10 field goals and 4-of-6 triples as the Lakers notched their first preseason victory in four tries. Bryant, a 5-time champion, also sank all of his five free throws.

​Six other players scored in double-figures for Los Angeles, which led from start to finish. Nick Young had 16 while Julius Randle, who played just 14 minutes in his rookie campaign last season due to a broken leg, added 14 points and nine rebounds. ​

​The Lakers also got eight points and 16 rebounds from center Roy Hibbert while point guard D'Angelo Russell, the 2nd overall pick in this year's draft​,​ ​dropped ​11 assist​s​ and 5 points​ ​after sitting out a game because of a bruised glue.

​Reginald Buckner led Maccabi paced Maccabi with 20 points and seven boards while Oz Blayzer pumped in 17. ​Former UCLA Bruin and Los Angeles born Dijon Thompson ​missed 9-of-11 shots for eight points. ​Thompson​,​ who ​has​ played for the Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks​,​ was the only ​Maccabi ​player ​with ​NBA experience.

The Lakers ​resume their exhibition season on Tuesday night (Wednesday morning, October 14 in Manila) when they play the Sacramento Kings at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
