Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin & Kobe Bryant Make the Offense Look Great
While Kobe Bryant had the wrong kind of triple double in a game he didn’t really try to force himself on the offense, Jeremy Lin played the facilitator perfectly, providing the kind of ball movement and ball handling the Los Angeles Lakers needed in their 106-96 win over the Detroit Pistons.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Overshadows Jeremy Lin & Everyone Else

Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin & Kobe Bryant Dragged Down by Nick Young
A typical night for Kobe Bryant and another very good game from Jeremy Lin didn’t help the Los Angeles Lakers win, losing 101-94 in overtime to the Denver Nuggets, as an awful Nick Young performance and the usual defensive weakness were too much for them to overcome over the course of the game.

Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Better Than Kobe Bryant But it Doesn’t Matter

Not the best of games to be gentle from Jeremy Lin, playing against his former team, but that didn’t stop the Los Angeles Lakers, led by Kobe Bryant and eased by the fact that Dwight Howard wasn’t playing, from beating the Houston Rockets 98-92 and picking up their first back-to-back win sequence of the season.
