If it were not for one player imminent retirement this New Orleans Pelicans and Las Angeles Laker game would not be more than two terrible teams trying to out tank the other. However due to the retirement of a Mr. Kobe Bean Bryant this game featured a rare sellout in the Smoothie King Center. The sellout crowd however could care less about the two teams playing offering nothing but modest cheers for anyone not named Kobe Bryant. Those modest cheers, turned into thunderous roars whenever Kobe touched the ball. He started off the game scoring 14 points shooting 5-11 from the field.
Grades: Pelicans spoil the Kobe farewell tour, trounce Lakers 110-102
