Lakers' Kobe Bryant: Shoots 2-for-12 from field in loss

Bryant tallied six points (2-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, and two steals over 22 minutes in Tuesday's 103-81 loss to the Clippers.

Bryant was far from the only Lakers player to lay bricks on a night when the team's five starters combined to shoot a putrid 10-for-51 (19.6%). While Bryant is capable of delivering big scoring nights such as the 34-point effort he turned in just two days earlier against the Celtics, his 35.4 percent and 28.2 percent season marks from the field and three-point range, respectively, often ensures that he needs tons of volume to produce significant totals. His lack of efficiency hasn't deterred Bryant from firing away at any point this season, so don't expect him to take a backseat offensively over the final five games of his career.
