Things got pretty hectic after Kobe Bryant messed around and dropped 60 points in his final game Wednesday.
With fans sharing memories and tributes on social media, Twitter struggled to handle the immense volume of activity, and the Los Angeles Lakers' account went dark for 30 minutes during his legendary exit.
Sorry about that, everybody.

Kobe got too hot for the Twitter servers.
.@Lakers is temporarily down. We will continue to tweet Kobe Bryant's final game from this account.

The account came back to life late in the fourth quarter with a sarcastic quip.
Did we miss anything?
