You can't stop Channing, you can only hope to contain him

Kobe is in one-on-one mode. Don't expect him to pass much for the remainder of the game. He takes a off-balance shot and looked to the refs to bail him out. They don't, this time.

Next possession, Kobe gets and And1. He's got 32 on the night. He might end the game with 80 the way he's playing.

Channing for a deep two, count it. That's 22 for Channing tonight. No way you can't like that guy.

Oden is manning the red ball machine tonight. That's hard work.

With 7 minutes to play, it's Blazers 95, Lakers 85. A 10 point lead isn't close to large enough with Kobe on the floor.
