Jazz give Kobe a farewell to remember (whether he wants to or not): The Downbeat #1881

I don't know exactly what I expected...but I didn't expect THAT.

Before last night's record-setting annihilation, I told my girlfriend the Jazz would probably win. Probably. I mean, Monday WAS Kobe Bryant's last game in Salt Lake City, and I've seen too many losses to the Lakers -- improbable or otherwise -- to be too confident in the outcome.

Clearly, I needn't have worried.

Amar's got the recap for you here, but let's try and keep the festivities going, shall we? It's your Tuesday Downbeat, and it's all good in the Hood.

Here are the records broken or tied in last night's game:

-- Biggest margin of victory in Jazz history (tie)

-- Biggest margin of defeat in Lakers history (tie)

-- Biggest margin of defeat in Kobe Bryant's NBA career (second-biggest was a 36-point loss to OKC)

-- Most 3-pointers in a half by a Jazzman (Rodney Hood with 8)

-- Most 3-pointers in a game by a Jazzman (Rodney Hood, ties Jeff Hornacek with 8)

-- Highest Jazz point total of the season

-- Most Jazz 3-pointers in a game (17)

-- Fewest points scored by Kobe vs.
