I was watching the Lakers VS Bulls game and just read yahoo sports article that was title that Kobe rallies Lakers past Bulls but If I am not mistaken Kobe and Gasol were on the bench when the Lakers made that run to eventually catch them and pass them. I think headlines like this undermined the work of their bench tonight. What are your thoughts? Once again I am not hating, I just thought the bench should have got a lot of credit and they were hardly mentioned in the article.
 
By looking at the scoring in the 4th quarter, it looks like Kobe started the 4th on the bench with the Lakers down 87-81. Kobe comes back in the game with 6:24 left up 102-93. So, thats a 21-4 run with Kobe and Gasol on the bench. If anything, Gasol was kinda terrible, being a -10, meaning they were outscored by 10 with him on the court.

The Lakers won, but I don't know if its as much them winning as much as Gordon and the Bulls losing it. Gordon had 7 of the Bulls 23 turnovers, while the Lakers, as a team, only had 10. I mean in that 21-4 run Chicago turned it over like 6 times. Theres no excuse to let up a 21-4 run with the Lakers 2 best players on the bench. I mean, the lineup of Odom, Sasha, Walton, Farmar, and Powell should NOT be going on a 21-4 run. Thats what decided the game for the Lakers, but it doesn't surprise me that Kobe would get all the credit even though he was on the bench for it.
