Excerpt from ‘When Kobe Bryant scored 20 points off the bench to stun Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls’ article by Stephen Beslic:
After a rough rookie season, which many remember for the two airballs he shot in the final minute against Utah in the NBA Playoffs, Kobe returned for his sophomore campaign a different player. Although he came off the bench as the Lakers still had All-Star wingman Eddie Jones as the starter, Kobe managed to make the most out of his 26 minutes per night, averaging 15.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.
So when Jordan and the Bulls came to town, Kobe was ready to showcase his talents against his childhood idol. The Lakers took over the game in the third quarter, where they outscored Chicago, 34-11, to bring a 91-64 lead into the fourth quarter that allowed them to cruise to the victory.
Although Jordan still had the better performance—he finished with 31 points and five rebounds on 11-of-26 from the field— Kobe had his moments, scoring on several fancy layups that drew oohs and aahs from the crowd.
