The Lakers and the Celtics are longtime rivals, but all of that mutual hatred faded away on this Wednesday night. This is Kobe Bryant’s last game in the Garden. Bryant showed he’s still got a bit left in the tank. He recorded his first double double of the season with 15 points and 11 rebounds as the fans shouted his name — loud and clear. It was incredible! It was a night full of emotions for Kobe Bryant and us fans, from both teams.
