The lost to the game by 8 points 127-119.
8 points?? Isn't it the number of Kobe when he first played? A coincidence

Weird happenings right now

I was thinking the same. I guess the NBA doesn't want to forget his legacy and will forever engrave his name in the league.
That's 8 coming from a lose and Kobe is about winning, they should have at least tried everything to win as a tribute for Kobe, a lose doesn't look good IMO.
Just watched the highlights of the game and it is a bit disappointing that Lakers really lost. It can't be controlled but I just hope they win the game as you said, a tribute for Kobe. Opening is good, speech is good but the result, well, it is not that good.
