 | | Kobe will play in Game 5 despite bad back | | Kobe Bryant - G - LAK - May. 12 - 2:29 p.m. ET | Kobe Bryant struggled through a back injury on Sunday, but said he will "definitely" be ready to play in Game 5.
"Second play of the game....my back just caught," Bryant said. "I couldn't go to the basket...I tried to be a decoy." Phil Jackson was upset after the game, because he felt Kobe's teammates "bailed out" during overtime, standing around and watching as Kobe handled the ball against constant double-teams.
