Tonight, Zhang Yang and Kobe are mainly responsible for missing shots.
Kobe, Ariza, and Kidd took turns defending Zhang Yang, holding him to 6 out of 17 from three-point range. Actually, shooting 35.3% from three isn't too bad, similar to Curry, who's hailed as the 'top three-point rookie of '09'.
Zhang Yang had 29 shots, making 13 of them, including 6 three-pointers and 5 free throws, scoring 37 points, which isn't a poor performance.
Under the rotating defense of Zhang Yang, Afflalo, Matthews, and Hill, Kobe only managed 12 out of 30 shots, falling short of his previous performance in their last encounter.
But the Lakers shot 9 out of 20 from the wings for three-pointers tonight!
Kidd, with 4 out of 8 three-pointers, totaling 17 points, plus 7 rebounds and 11 assists, along with Fisher, who made 3 three-pointers for 11 points, became the key factors in the victory, outplaying Felton's 19 points and 5 assists, and Darren Collison's 6 points.
