1. November 18, 2014: Lakers at Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks turned out to be the surprise team of the 2014-15 NBA season, leaving LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the dust (at least during the regular season) and winning the eastern conference by a wide margin. On November 18, 2014, just before the Hawks began their incredible streak, the Lakers travelled to Atlanta during a tough early-season road trip. The Lakers won the game 114 – 109. Bryant led the way with 28 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds. In a season where his shooting percentage was the lowest of his career, Bryant shot over 50% making 10 of 18 shots from the field. This was a very good road victory.
