Kobe Bryant was hurting and coming off his worst scoring night in more than a year, and yet kept coming back to the same word: easy.

Thanks to Pau Gasol , the Lakers no longer need Bryant to be great every night anymore.

Gasol had 24 points and 12 rebounds in his Los Angeles debut, and the Lakers beat the New Jersey Nets 105-90 on Tuesday night despite a season-low six points from Bryant, his first single-digit effort in more than a year.

”He played extremely well,” Bryant said. ”Defenses are used to playing a certain way. You know, screen-and-roll, where I come off the pick, they’re used to playing a certain way. Now they have to evaluate how they play that. It’s going to be a little bit more for defenses to kind of try to come up with a scheme.”
