Dave Dombrowski: Red Sox Still Aren’t Sure How To Replace David Ortiz

Never mind that Bryant entered the game shooting just 35 percent from the floor and had scored seven points total in his previous two games. Sunday night belonged to Kobe, a fact he established immediately by drilling an 18-foot jumper and deep 3-poin...
