I don't know what game y'all were watching but the Jazz weren't playing him that soft. Never liked Kobe but one hell of a way to go out.

Rewatch the highlights. Kobe was shooting jumpers right in front of their face all night. Jazz players were staying 2-3 feet away from him and not even putting a hand up lol
Maybe live it seemed like they were playing, but they definitely weren't. I was watching the NBA Network last night and they were even cracking jokes about how soft they were playing him.

tbh I wanted to watch that game, and was kind of hoping that would happen lol, had to go to sleep early for something but What's the big deal? Of course that shit was going to happen. I mean really, this is basketball where like 80% of the time I swear every single person is just half assing it, especially when the game doesn't matter at all like the end of the season or their playoff hopes are already gone. You think the Jazz were going to go out there and play their hearts out and risk injury at 40-41 when you got some super stacked teams out there with like fuckin a near perfect record and theres literally zero chance at competing for anything meaningful? I mean weren't all basketball players just complaining the season was too long and were talking about cutting it way shorter because no one plays hard anyway? You guys just hate Kobe that much?
BTW anyone watch the pre-game coverage when that fucking ugly bitch took a huge shit on Kobe, brought up his rape charges, beef against Shaq, and brought up some other bullshit about how Kobe never wanted to talk to her again but they squashed it all in teh span of like a minute, unbelievable. Then they immediately cut to a commercial promoting some Shaq ESPN thing lol

Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan help Raptors even up East finals
TORONTO -- Kyle Lowry scored 35 points, including a driving layup in the final minute, and DeMar DeRozan had 32 as the Toronto Raptors evened the Eastern Conference Finals by beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-99 in Game 4 on Monday night.
DeMarre Carroll scored 11 points and Bismack Biyombo had 14 rebounds as Toronto improved to 8-2 at home this postseason.
Game 5 is Wednesday night in Cleveland.
Editor's Picks
Lords of the North: Raptors' home rule evens series with Cavs
Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan both had big games as the Toronto Raptors tied up the Cleveland Cavaliers with a 105-99 win in Game 4 of the East finals.
Cavs storm back in Game 4, but Raptors hold on for win
The Cavs overcame an 18-point deficit with a second-half surge, but they ran out of gas late in the fourth quarter, helping Toronto tie their series.
Raptors' Valanciunas active but unused vs. Cavs
Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas was active for Monday night's Game 4 but did not play against the Cavaliers.
Cleveland lost consecutive playoff games to an Eastern Conference opponent for the first time since dropping the final three games of the conference semifinals to Boston in 2010.
LeBron James scored 29 points and Kyrie Irving had 26 for the Cavaliers. Channing Frye scored nine of his 12 points in the fourth quarter.
The Raptors led by nine points to begin the fourth but Frye made consecutive 3-pointers as Cleveland opened the final quarter with an 8-0 run, cutting it to 78-77. The Cavaliers made their first 11 shots of the fourth quarter. Frye's errant 3-point attempt at 4:12 was their first miss.
DeRozan made two free throws at the other end and, after another miss by Frye, Carroll made one of two to put Toronto up 99-96 with 3:23 to go.
A long 3 by Irving made it 101-99 with 2:00 left, but DeRozan answered with a driving bank shot at 1:33. Toronto got the ball back after Biyombo blocked J.R. Smith's 3, and Biyombo kept the offensive possession alive by rebounding Lowry's missed shot. After a timeout, Lowry let the shot clock wind down before driving for the decisive layup, making it 105-99 with 22 seconds to go.
Toronto jumped out to a 13-5 lead as Cleveland missed eight of its first 10 shots. Following a timeout, the Cavs made five of their next six to cut the deficit but the Raptors led 27-24 after one quarter.
Lowry scored 15 points in the second, making three of Toronto's four 3-pointers, as the Raptors opened a 57-41 halftime lead despite not shooting a single free throw in the first two quarters. It marked the first time a team led by 15 or more at halftime in a conference finals game without shooting a free throw since Game 2 of the 2001 East Finals between Milwaukee and Philadelphia. The Bucks made two of six from the line, the fewest ever made in an NBA playoff game at the time.
DeRozan shot Toronto's first free throws at 6:13 of the third after being tackled by Smith on a drive. The foul drought came after Raptors coach Dwane Casey was fined $25,000 for criticizing the officials following Toronto's Game 3 win.
After shooting 3 for 22 from 3-point range in the first half, the Cavaliers made their first three long range shots in the third quarter. Cleveland connected on six of eight 3s in the third but DeRozan and Lowry combined for 16 points as Toronto took a 78-69 lead into the fourth.
TIP-INS
Cavaliers: James and Irving each had six assists. ... After shooting 3 for 19 in Game 3, Kevin Love shot 4 for 14 in Game 4. He finished with 10 points.
Raptors: Raptors C Jonas Valanciunas was active but did not play. He's been out since spraining his right ankle in the third quarter of Game 3 against Miami on May 7. ... Fans cheered derisively when Matthew Dellavedova was called for Cleveland's first foul of the game at 8:56 of the second.
