Pau has improved quite a bit in the past week. By far his best game of the season in the post tonight: 9 of 12 from the field.

Kobe said he hyper extended his knee w/ Tony Allen. But he said he felt OK. Admitted it was scary though

Bryant told me that he "twisted" his knee "a little bit," and that it's "a little stiff." Should be OK for Friday vs. MIN.

Kobe on playing 33 minutes: "It just kind of happened. It felt good though. You’ve got to crank it up at some point."
