Lucky fans give high fives to Kobe Bryant.
The Rockets took on the Los Angeles Lakers Sunday in what was Kobe Bryant's last game in Houston.  The home team won the high scoring affair 130-110.  There was a lot of purple and gold in the Toyota Center cheering for the Lakers but all had respect for sending off one of the NBA's greatest players.
