Kobe Bryant 2009 Finals: 17pts In 1st Qtr, Gm 3 vs. Orlando Magic

Kobe starts off Game 3 choosing to set up his teammates instead of forcing the issue. He doesn't attempt his first shot until the 5:43 mark and for the rest of the quarter he would toy with Orlando's defense. His scoring arsenal was on full display as he scored 17 of the Lakers' last 19 points going 7/10 from the field and 2/2 from 3-point range. The highlights from the rest of this game weren't included because he really cooled off after this hot start (4/15 from the field, 2/7 from 3). This is an example of just how deadly a scorer he was when he caught fire.

His quarters 2-4 were historically bad though, lol
