Pistons beat Lakers in Bryant’s farewell

Auburn Hills — They came dressed in Lakers purple and gold, in hopes of witnessing one final brilliant flash of the past from Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant. Fans chanted his name and screamed words of support for his every move.

Instead of brilliant Kobe they witnessed broken down and sick Kobe and got a glimpse of a team with a bright future during the Pistons’ 111-91 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers Sunday night at The Palace.

Bryant bricked his first seven shots and finished with five points and three rebounds while shooting 2-for-15 from the field.
