62 to 55
The Supersonics entered the second half with a 7-point lead.
It was the same margin as at the end of the first quarter, and the effort the Lakers put in during the second quarter seemed to have been in vain.
However, it wasn't a big enough deficit to be desperate about.
It was just that Yu Fei's last basket of the first half had given the opponent a bad feeling, as they sensed that tonight might not turn out well.
In the visiting team's locker room, Kobe stared at his fingers that were almost numb, thinking about what parts of tonight's game he did well and what could be improved... But no matter how he thought about it, the question always came back to the same point—was he better than Yu Fei?
His answer was positive, but no one in the outside world agreed with this view.
Even his own body didn't agree.
He was severely drained of his energy, and his finger injuries clearly affected his offense.
