Bryant collected 21 points (7-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes in Saturday's 108-96 loss to Portland.
After his infamous 1-for-14 shooting night Tuesday, Bryant bounced back with his second-highest scoring total of the season. The 14-year veteran still struggled mightily from the field, draining only 35 percent of his buckets (7-for-20), and has only been at 40 percent or better in two contests all season. Bryant appears to require a considerably elevated shot volume at this stage of his career in order to post respectable offensive numbers.
