Kobe Bryant keeps moving up on the grade scale he has implemented for himself. The Lakers, though, keep getting schooled at home.
Their latest loss was a lethargic one to the Phoenix Suns, 114-108, Tuesday at Staples Center.
There was no cohesion, very little excitement and you could almost hear a home team fall below .500 with a 10-11 record.
Bryant looked better — 20 points on six-for-11 shooting — but the Lakers fell to 0-2 with him after also suffering a home loss Sunday to Toronto.
