Definition of an assist according to wikipedia Meaning the player has to put the ball in the basket. The next 3 players who took the highest amount of shots after Kobe were Fisher, Artest and Gasol Those 3 combined for 6 for 29 from the field. I'm sure Kobe could've gotten an assist or two Reason the Lakers lost the game was because of the big mean and their lackadaisical play on both ends. This play pretty much summed it up and JVG called them out on it <iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8V595wirdtw" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe> Defense and rebounding wins championships and those are the primary duties of the bigs...when you don't do that you won't win Boston bigs raped the Laker bigs tonight and Kobe's dominant performance wasn't enough Game.
