LOS ANGELES (AP) -Lakers coach Phil Jackson says Kobe Bryant needs to improve his shooting or take fewer shots.
Bryant scored 21 points on 6-of-19 shooting in the Lakers’ 87-79 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in their playoff opener.
Jackson said before Game 2 on Tuesday night that Bryant can continue playing the same way, but he’ll have to limit the number of shots he takes. The coach says Bryant can’t shoot 30 percent as he has recently and expect the Lakers to win.
Jackson says he’s told Bryant his thoughts and he says the 11-time All-Star is befuddled by it, but coming to terms with it.
