Excerpt from ‘This Day in Lakers History: Kobe Bryant Leads Comeback Against Defending-Champion Spurs’ article from Lakers Nation:

On Dec. 13, 2007, the Los Angeles Lakers geared up for a showdown at Staples Center against the defending-champion San Antonio Spurs. In a game that steadily turned into a back-and-forth contest, Kobe Bryant once again had to step up and guide his team in a comeback attempt.

The Lakers had reached an unstable part in their franchise history involving Bryant, past the days of a duo with Shaquille O’Neal and not yet partnered with Pau Gasol. It was during this time that Bryant had to continually shoulder the load against defenses that would encourage him to play selfishly.

However, the future Hall-of-Famer would continually exploit that game plan and display his dominance as one of the greatest scorers of all time.

The Lakers entered halftime with a 51-43 lead, showing signs of life following a horrible start to the game. Los Angeles started the contest by shooting 1-for-14 from the field, going up against a team that was missing two of their three stars as Tony Parker and Tim Duncan sat with respective ankle injuries.

However, that never stopped a Greg Popovich-coached team from giving it their all, with Popovich always prioritizing the health of his players over a single victory.
