Los Angeles Lakers v Charlotte Bobcats
Kobe Bryant suffered the worst loss of his career in his final game in Utah

Everybody remembers and knows who Kobe Bryant scored 60 points against in his career finale - the Utah Jazz. He's had seen it all in Utah, the ups and the downs - Playoffs wins and Playoffs losses but his last time there didn't end well. In his final one in Utah, Bryant suffered the worst loss of his career.

A lot like the other games in his final season, Bryant played just 27 minutes in this game that was running away from the team quite early. The Lakers were outscored 34-16 in the first quarter and from there the lead only went upwards. Apart from the team result, the Black Mamba had a forgetful game even individually, registering just 5 points and 2 assists on 1-of-11 shooting.
