Garnett beat Okafor to win the jump ball, Kidd advanced to the frontcourt, and passed low to Kobe, who received the ball off Garnett's screen, turned, and hooked the ball in front of Brad Miller to score.
In the past two years, Kobe has been willing to play off-ball for most of the time, precisely because of Kidd. Whenever he runs out an opportunity, the ball always gets to him; Kidd's passing is different from Luke Walton or even Garnett. Sometimes, they miss what he sees as an opportunity, but Kidd doesn't.
During the Bobcats' attack, Zhang Yang slipped out from the baseline, received a pass on the left side of the three-second zone, and jumped to shoot... only to be disrupted by Garnett's defensive effort.
Back at the other end, Kobe received the ball at the high post, turned, and shot immediately, scoring again!
Kobe scored 4 points in a row, lifting his personal tally to 47 points, and helping the Lakers lead 96 to 92!
