Phil Jackson tweeted his excitement for Kobe’s return and reminded all his followers that Bryant scored 81 points against these same Raptors seven years ago:
Excited to see Kobe back on the floor tonite? I’m hoping he’s at least 90%. Remembering a game vs. Toronto one Sunday some 7 years ago#81

Bryant has had great history against the Raptors and everyone is expecting another great performance. Last season, Bryant somehow made three consecutive three-pointers to will the Lakers into overtime and sealed the game with a dunk.
While head coach Mike D’Antoni will limit Bryant’s minutes, it will be an exciting night to see Bryant’s return. With the Lakers 10-9, the rest of the players will have to continue playing at a high-level as Kobe gets into game shape. Once Bryant is able to play extended minutes, the five-time champion will look to lead the Lakers deep into the playoffs and exceeded expectations along the way.
