Basketball fans who missed Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant’s 81-point performance Sunday night against the Toronto Raptors can watch the game via the Internet through the National Basketball Association’s new broadband game package, according to league officials.
The game -- in which Bryant scored the second-most points in NBA history, behind the 100 scored by Wilt Chamberlain in 1962 -- will available for the next two days to “NBA League Pass” subscribers through the league’s recently announced video Internet service, “NBA League Pass Broadband,” located on the league’s Web site (www.nba.com). The site is currently streaming each of Bryant’s 81 points during the game, officials said.
The league’s digital-cable network, NBA TV, also plans to repeat of the game -- in which the Lakers beat the Raptors 122-104 -- several times over the next several days, although it has not released specific times.
And consumers can purchase the game in its entirety through Google Inc.’s “Google Video Store” (video.google.com) for $3.95 per game beginning Monday night, league officials said.
FSN West, which televised the game live, is also expected to reair its telecast sometime this week.
