Well, that was interesting.

All people will remember from Sunday's game is that Kobe Bryant passed Michael Jordan into third place on the league's all-time scoring list. What I will remember is Bryant, in his 19th season, hitting the game-winning shot on Andrew Wiggins, the Wolves rookie many think has the talent to become a great player himself.

Indeed, after the game was over, Bryant said that, in Wiggins, he saw a younger version of himself. "It's like looking at a reflection of myself 19 years ago," he said. "It was pretty cool.''

I'll say. Bryant scored 26 points, 10 in the fourth quarter, including a 26-point three-pointer with 1:02 left that broke a 94-all tie.

Here are some other thoughts on the game

--How about Shabazz Muhammad? Wolves coach Flip Saunders said his sore ankle and a sore back nearly kept him out of this game. Saunders said he didn't know he'd have Muhammad available until 10 minutes before game time. And then Bazz comes off the bench to match his career high with 28 points in less than 28 minutes played. He was 12-for-21 shooting, had nine rebounds.

--It was a tough night for both Wiggins and LaVine. But especially for LaVine. After the game Saunders said he has to convince LaVine to use his left hand when he drives to the basket on the left side. LaVine keeps wanting to go back to the right hands. But, Saunders said, that's where the big guys are. But LaVine has time. Saunders said it took nearly 60 games into Steph Marbury's rookie year to get that same point across.

--Wiggins? He started strong, scoring the Wolves' first six points. Then he started getting into foul trouble, which hampered him much of the rest of the night. At least until late; Wiggins scored six fourth quarter points as well.

--Saunders said he thinks the Wolves defense, while still a work in progress, is getting better. The Lakers shot 42 percent Sunday. That's better than a few games ago, Saunders said, when teams were shooting 55 percent.

That's about all for now. Have a great night and a good week.
