2001 Western Conference Semifinals Game 4, May 13, 2001 | One of Kobe's greatest playoff games and arguably his very best ever. His 2001 playoff run is seen by many as his most impressive run because of performances like this. Throughout that 15-1 demolition of playoff opponents by the Lakers, Kobe was counted on to take it to another level in hostile environments on the road. Game 4 in Sacramento is one of various instances where Kobe needed to take charge and with the possibility of a second consecutive sweep in sight, he looked to take the game over right away. In a very high-tempo contest between two Western conference heavy-weights, #8 forced his way to a then playoff career-high 48 points while simultaneously ripping down 16 rebounds among the trees. Kobe was as aggressive as he'd ever been in this game, as evidenced by his 9 offensive rebounds and 19 free throw attempts. The Lakers used to strong 39-point 4th quarter to win the game 119-113 and end the Kings' season.
