Kobe Bryant might be 16 games away from retiring, and LeBron James may be in his 13th season, but — in their final game against one another — both looked like they were at the peak of their primes.
Bryant — who had missed four of his previous six games due to a sore shoulder — racked up 26 points on an 11-of-16 clip, while James countered with 24 points and seven assists, leading the Cavaliers past the Lakers, 120-108.
“One thing about Kobe, he can always get it going,” said Cleveland interim coach Tyronn Lue, who played alongside Bryant from 1998-2001.
