Kobe Bryant Returns...RAPTORS 106 LAKERS 94...the BLACK MAMBA returns but LAKER Nation's Night is ruined by two fellow "City of ANGLES" Natives...LAKER Gang's #1 Soap "2014" "KB24 is baaaaaaaaaack" #LAKERnation #StaplesPurple&Gold #Team16Chips

The Figueroa Street L.A. Gymnasium was glowing tonight as the Lakers got their man back Kobe Bryant. The only problem was the Raptors were not feeling any of that and the Black Mamba's Return wasn't going to spoil two L.A. Natives donning Raptors Duds.

The Dinosaurs came out firing as they took it right to the Lakers and didn't let up. La Natives Amir Johnson (LA Westchester HS) had 32 points and ten boards as he torched the Guts of the Lake Show in the paint. He was joined by DeMar Derozan (Compton CA HS) 26 points , five boards, and five helpers as he ate up Lakers Guards on his way to a big night in front of his peeps. Raptors PG Kyle Lowry also had 23 points and eight helpers as he controlled the "Pace" of the Game outplaying Laker Point Guards namely the "Real Blake Show" Steve Blake from the "Flying Steve's".

The Lakers Bench (#1 from a PPG Perspective in the Logo) kept the Lakers in it as they went for a combined 71 of the Lakers 94 total points. Nick at Nite 2.0 led the Lakers Reinforcements called "Shirts & Skins" Figueroa Street LA Gymnasium as the "X-Man" Xavier Henry added 17 and Meeks from the 404 and the #UK Cats chipped in with 14. The Lakers inability to get offense from their starters cost them in this one. The Black Mamba's Numbers on the night...

@KobeBryant

9 pts 8 rebs 8 turnovers 4 asst in 27:56 mins going 2/9 FG,  0/3 3pt FG, and  5-7 FT...

The Lakers have to get use to playing with Kobe again but that Bench will keep them in a lot of games moving forward.

Note: Before the Game Raptors New GM Masai Ujiri Nigerian-Born and Ex-Nuggets GM traded Rudy Gay, Quincy Acy, and Aaron Gray to the Sac Town Kings for Patrick Patterson, Greivis Vasquez, John Salmons, and Chuck Hayes. Patterson and Vasquez have Qualifying Offers for the 2014-15 season...
