Lakers 121, Grizzlies 119
Associated PressMEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Kobe Bryant became the fourth player in NBA history to score at least 50 points in three straight games Thursday night.
Bryant scored 60 points in the Los Angeles Lakers' 121-119 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Bryant was 20-for-37 from the field, including 3-for-7 from 3s, and 17 of 18 from the free-throw line.
The last Laker with three consecutive 50-point games was Hall of Famer Elgin Baylor in December 1962. Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain are the only other players with three straight 50-point games.
"It just feels great," Bryant said of joining Baylor, Jordan and Chamberlain. "It's really special and very humbling to be in the same company."
Bryant will try to extend the run when the Lakers face the New Orleans Hornets on Friday night.
Memphis had won seven of the past 10 against the Lakers and had split two earlier meetings this season. But with Bryant scoring from every spot on the floor, the Grizzlies couldn't keep pace.
Memphis took an 85-80 lead, its biggest of the game, late in the third quarter after consecutive 3-pointers by Mike Miller. But the Lakers battled back behind Bryant, who scored nine straight points during a 90-second stretch to put Los Angeles up 95-93. The Lakers never trailed again.
Bryant had 24 points at the half and 43 after three quarters.
Pau Gasol led Memphis with 35 points and 15 rebounds. Miller added 33 points and seven assists.
Lamar Odom was one of only two other Lakers to reach double figures. He finished with 20 points and 15 rebounds.
Greatest scorer ever?
I dont know if he is better than MJ, but he is definately in the conversation
Best scorer EVER. Kobe has really proved the haters wrong.
If Kobe scores 60 the next game again, I will officially stop hating on him!
Kobe is officially the best scorer in the league. lol
got jipped for MVP last year.
Unfortunately itll go to that skirt wearing nazi jackass in dallas.
17-18 from the line, that's cold blooded.
if he even gets 45 on a b2b i'll be impressed considering how much he played tonight
Well that 65 vs. Blazers was a back-to-back. I'd be more impressed with another win and if he gets 50+ doing it, fine.
I still gotta go with Wilt on that one. He averaged 50 for one year. I know the league wasn't the same, but you can't knock what he did.
Kobe is definitely up there though and he still has many more years left. His legacy is not over yet.
it sure was! Amazing. Maybe be not the best PLAYER ever...but definately the best SCORER ever...which is good enuf for me!Well that 65 vs. Blazers was a back-to-back. I'd be more impressed with another win and if he gets 50+ doing it, fine.
I'd be more impressed if Kobe doesn't score 50 because he sat out the entire fourth quarter against the Hornets because the Lakers were winning in a blowout.
I won't say the best, because that's very broad and easy to dispute. I'd say he is the most explosive perimeter scorer ever.it sure was! Amazing. Maybe be not the best PLAYER ever...but definately the best SCORER ever...which is good enuf for me!
I agree, the Lakers' team defense has been crappy recently, they just can't get a stop and Kobe has had to carry them on offense. Can't win a Championship this way and Phil/Kobe knows it...
exactly...but what can u do?? They lost 7 straight...and this is working right now.
Well they lost like 5 straight then 7 straight largely due to injuries, people forget that Luke and Lamar were BALLIN' before they got injured.. now that both guys are back it's only a matter of time, and they will be ready once the Playoffs arrive. Bryant knows that they can't continue to win like that, he didn't win 3 rings not knowing this. (Also possibly a Lakers-Spurs First Round and that could be entertaining, I'm hoping for Lakers-Suns myself but I have my reasons
