For the first time since injuring his Achilles against Golden State in April, Kobe Bryant returned to an NBA court on opening night. Also the first game in the post "Dwightmare" era, the Lakers opened up the season at home vs the Clippers who are playing their first game with Doc Rivers as their coach. The game went back and forth in the first as Kobe started cold only having 2 points in the first quarter and led by Matt Barnes the Clippers lead 27-25 at the end of the 1st. The Black Mamba took over from there after the slow start he finished the game with 29 points but he wasnt the only big scorer tonight, in his first game as a Laker, Nick Young was on fire most of the night shooting 10 for 17 and finishing with 25 points. Returning to the Lakers were Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher. Odom had a nice return scoring 12 in 14 minutes while Fisher only played 8 minutes. The Lakers face the Golden State Warriors next.
