Kobe heats up after cold start, then goes cold again in Lakers' loss

INDIANAPOLIS – During his final stops at various arenas, Kobe Bryant has said he wants to give fans a good show, something that they’ll remember from their last trip to see him in person.

For nearly two-minute stretch in the fourth quarter Monday, the Los Angeles Lakers icon delivered exactly what Indiana Pacers fans were hoping to see -- one of his patented scoring flurries in which he seemed unstoppable.

In his final game in Indianapolis, Bryant kicked off his deluge with a jumper with 4:15 left, then buried a 25-foot 3-pointer from the right wing with Pacers’ star Paul George guarding him tightly, then Bryant nailed a 23-foot 3-pointer in the right corner with George closing on him fast.
