This is the second time today that Roger said he'll punish Kobe.
Erik Spoelstra had to bring in Mount Mutombo early to strengthen the inside line, with Marcus Camby sitting back on the bench, covering his head with a towel.
On the free throw line, Kobe, affected by the intense confrontation, made only one of his two free throws.
Spoelstra patted Marcus Camby's shoulder: "Your efforts are meaningful."
Marcus Camby shrugged: "Let's talk about whether our efforts are meaningful once Roger takes out number 15."
Dikembe Mutombo's mobility and bounce are far inferior to Marcus Camby's. He is a traditional rim-protecting center, which means his help defense is mediocre, and his switching flexibility is downright terrible.
But Mount Mutombo worked very hard upon entering the game, using his enthusiasm to compensate for some shortcomings in speed and bounce, continuing to support the Warriors' defensive foundation.
However, Mutombo, like Marcus Camby, did not get rid of foul troubles.
