Lenny Wilkens was about to leave when he heard a loud shout from inside the gym: "Alright, Michael, break time's over, let's start the next round."
Then there was the sound of a basketball bouncing on the floor and passing through the net.
He pushed open the door and saw the trainer passing the ball to Michael Reed, whose jersey was already soaked.
Michael Reed repeatedly maneuvered around the obstacles set up on the court, catching, shooting, and releasing the ball.
It was so monotonous, yet Reed remained focused, not even noticing someone at the door of the training gym.
After watching a set of drills, Lenny Wilkens silently closed the door and walked towards his office.
Last night's Christmas game was exciting but also quite nerve-wracking.
Kobe's last-second shot was just a hair away from sealing the game, nearly turning Roger's incredible stats of 55 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks into a great but futile effort.
