Grumpy goes off in Game 1

Kobe Bryant’s 40-point outburst carried the Lakers past the Orlando Magic in Game 1 of the Finals tonight. He hardly smiled before, during or after the Lakers’ 100-75 wipeout of the overmatched Magic. He explained his stern demeanor this way: “My kids call me Grumpy from the Seven Dwarfs. That’s how I’ve been at home, just a grouch.”
