Kobe: Thunder ‘just younger and faster’

In Game 1 of this West semifinal series, the Thunder left the Lakers exasperated. Kobe Bryant went from frustrated to laughing at the futility by the fourth quarter.

Don’t look now, but with the Thunder playing like this, another sweep is possible.

Kobe: “They go on runs, they go on big runs. Once they get going, it goes downhill quickly.”Is there a reason to think the Thunder won’t? These guys, no matter how well they play, always play hard.

“They’re just younger and faster,” Kobe said with a degree of resignation.
