NBA star and NBA MVP Kobe Bryant was caught on NBA live TV as he headed scoreless on Monday night; the Lakers star played only 6 minutes under the LA Lakers jerseys before benching and watching the 2010 NBA champions getting smacked by the Minnesota Timberwolves basketballl shirts with a final score of 111-92. The Lakers V Timberwolves Live match marked the advantage of Youth Vs experience given the fact that NBA stats reflected the younger age of the Twolves squad.

Timberwolves Martell Webster, who came off the bench, was able to demonstrate the leadership role as he led all his Wolves NBA players with a total of 24 points, whilst fellow Michael Beasley was able to swoosh 21 onto his NBA statitics.

Lamar Odom demonstrated the Lakers best performance of the evening after adding 17 points to his team mate Shannon Brown’s 13.

Timberwolves Head Coach told the NBA Live TV, NBA website and the basketball magazines’ reporters that "Our guys played well, but we didn't see the Lakers top players tonight.”

Los Angeles Lakers Head Coach Phil Jackson told the B Ball media that he would play Bryant a maximum of 15 minutes in each of the Lakers 2 European matches throughout this week, knowing that the Lakers MVP is still recovering from an off season knee surgery.

Minnesota Timberwolves were able to lead by 56 to 55 at half time, but pulled away further more in the 3^rd quarter after exhibiting a 13-3 run versus an uncapable Lakers.

The NBA tickets for the Lakers V Timberwolves were sold out in the London O2 Arena; the basketball fans who purchased their NBA tickets online or onsite were able to witness great acrobatic displays like the 1-hand slam dunk of Paul Gasol (Lakers center).

“I wanted to get up and get back in, but at that point my shoes were unlaced and my knee was frozen. Coach Rambis gave me a big hug and thanked me for not playing" Bryant comically said.

The Lakers will next play Barcelona basketball team; the NBA champions Lakers V Barcelona is expected to be a sparking match between the best NBA team and one of Europe’s best basketball squads. The game will get tackled on the 7^th of October whilst the Timberwolves will play the New York Knicks in Paris a day earlier.
